It was a shock to the system, between MA and PhD programs, not having university access to these sources. <br /><br />It might be fascinating to have a public discussion at some point, about what types of resources are available to researchers at different institutions? How that has changed over time? How people develop the skills and techniques they need to use these resources effectively?dan allossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733670017382794923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872819010848426693.post-42359452901686900762010-12-03T09:50:42.875-05:002010-12-03T09:50:42.875-05:00Readex, a division of NewsBank, offers students an...Readex, a division of NewsBank, offers students and researchers at all levels online access to hundreds of 19th-century American newspapers through America's Historical Newspapers.David Loitersteinhttp://www.readex.com/readex/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872819010848426693.post-12649439701076873002010-12-02T18:31:47.659-05:002010-12-02T18:31:47.659-05:00I wonder whether the average high school student h...I wonder whether the average high school student has access to online newspapers? Most college students do, I assume -- which changes the game a little with respect to research skills, but may offer them more options to choose from. Online access might create some opportunities for regional comparisons across a single day, things like that.dan allossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733670017382794923noreply@blogger.com
