[Tasl] Re: Tennessee resources on Learn & Discover

[Tenn-Share]

For those of you not participating in Learn & Discover this time around (you know who you are!), here's some TEL information you're missing out on:

How is the TN Newspaper collection different from Google News?The TEL newspaper collection includes obituaries and editorial contentwhich is often missing from other news searches like Google/Yahoo!News. So, TEL can help you discover the Tennessee perspective onnational issues, like the Iraq War, the gas crisis, or even the SwineFlu! Remember that Tennessee newspapers in TEL can go back to 1990, soyou'll also find information on older topics that would be buried inGoogle News.Why is TEL’s Tennessee Newspaper Collection better than the papers’ own websites?Archived copies are FREE to view. Newspaper sites charge for back issue articles.Wait! What if I am at home and want to check it out all of this cool content?All TEL resources are accessible from your home! And if you access theTennessee Newspapers from the TEL portal - no password is required!


These are excellent answers to questions I get asked all the time, as I'm sure many of you do. So I want to especially thank Sue Maszaros, Tricia Bengel and James Staub for putting this terrific info together.
