The Southeastern NY Library Resources Council is pleased to announce the launch of a new website, HRVH Historical Newspapers http://news.hrvh.org/, part of the Hudson River Valley Heritage (HRVH) service. The Kingston Daily Freeman is the first newspaper to be included in this new digital newspaper repository and was completely digitized for the years 1903 to 1912.

Complete issues of the newspaper can be viewed by full page or individual articles can be highlighted and viewed. This collection will be invaluable to historians, family researchers, teachers and students. For more information on the HRVH Historical Newspapers go to http://news.hrvh.org/

Information for libraries on H1N1 flu is now available on the New York State Library’s web site. All types of libraries — public, school, college / university and library systems may go to: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/h1n1/index.html . As libraries prepare for the upcoming flu season, it is important to consider both how the library provides information on flu to library users and communities AND protection of the library’s environment for staff and patrons. The State Library link leads to:
- Toolkits prepared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for schools, colleges / universities, child care programs.
- A public library toolkit adapted and edited from the CDC toolkit for businesses
- New York State Education Department informational links for schools
- H1N1 web resource links for all libraries
Questions: please contact Cassandra Artale, Library Development Specialist, New York State Library / Division of Library Development at 518/474-1479 or cartale@mail.nysed.gov.
