Dear All,
Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about Libraries and daily
newspapers.
I had 14 responses - from 10 Universities and 4 Colleges.
Most take the 'quality' dailies. Some local and foreign papers were
also taken by some. 3 Universities have cancelled all but the Financial
Times (either print or online) which is kept for Business students.
In terms of keeping back issues 3 institutions keep for 1 week, one for
2 weeks, 4 keep for a month, another 4 for 3 months and one for 6
months.
Online access is obtained to news stories through either Lexis or
Factiva but there was some concern that pictures were not included in
these services.
I'm not sure what our final decision will be but hope this information
is useful.
Best wishes,
Kathryn
