Stebie9173 Posted 3 April , 2006 Share Posted 3 April , 2006 Kingsman, Do you have a library card? If so, I know that Northamptonshire Libraries allow access using the number on the back. You can log-in here: http://infotrac.london.galegroup.com/itweb/norlib It's free, and the Cambridgeshire Libraries one certainly doesn't restrict the amount of access. If you haven't got a Library Card, then get one! Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 3 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 3 April , 2006 I'm not sure why the link isn't working as it takes me straight to the page where you start searching. However, if you're having a problem, try this: Go to the Thompson and Gale website. Click on the blue panel on the right of the home page, then Others (unless you're a librarian), then an area of interest, e.g. the Times Digital Archive is under "History, Biography and Literature" and finally click on the archive you want.

If you haven't got a Library Card, then get one! Steve. Yes, my magic Northamptonshire Libraries card does give me unrestricted access to the Times Digital Archive, and a host of other journals and the Dictionary of National Biography, via its Information Services webpage; but surely ours cannot be the only public library that offers this service. If it is not available via your local library, you'll all have to come and live with me in the County of Spires and Squires. Perhaps that explains the rapid housebuilding hereabouts. This link will take you to the Infotrac page, which explains more. click on Infotrac in the light blue box to take you to the link that Stebie posted. http://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/Leisure...es/infotrac.htm Steve, do you actually live in Northamptonshire, or have you claimed squatters rights?

Worked a treat Tom Thanks REgds Hmm, funny... Tom's link doesn't work, and the other suggestions here don't seem to work for me either. When you say "Blue panel on the right..." do you mean the one that says "select your area of interest?" Where is the "others," option located? I don't seem to be seeing what you're seeing.

Paul Paul, the blue panel is the one that says, "Celebrate National Library Week all month long with free access to Thomson Gale Databases." Click on that panel and you go to another page on which you gain access to the databases by clicking either the "Librarian" or "Others" button. On the next page click on the "History, Biography and Literature" button and you're in, with a list of databases available. Good luck! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 4 April , 2006 Share Posted 4 April , 2006 Kate, Peterborough, now claimed by Cambridgseshire, but once in your fair county!! The Cambridgshire Library Home Page also has the links. I'm happy to be associated with Northamptonshire, apart from the fact that your footie team just beat us last Saturday (Fair and square, mind you) Steve. P.S. Came across an article in one of the 1930s "I Was There" publications on the "Gaieties" concert group. Have you seen that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst they can say is no, and if it is 'yes' believe me you will be stuck at your computer keyboard until kingdom come. Stebie Is that the article by Leslie Henson?
