3. To get to the Historical New York Times, go to the Griffin catalogue (http://griffin.wsu.edu) and make sure that Title and not Keyword is selected. Search for "historical New York Times."

4. To use the Amazon applet for Firefox I showed you, which you can use to see whether books from the Amazon or Barnes and Noble sites are available at WSU or Summit, go to my main page: http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/index.html. Look on the left hand side below the sidebar. The links are there; just drag and drop them onto the Firefox toolbar.
