Cleveland Public Library and Cuyahoga County Public Library subscribe to a database Newsbank that receives a feed from the Plain Dealer. The Plain Dealer articles are somewhat archived and indexed, but the Sun newspapers (published by PD) are not indexed, except by their own site (ditto PD for their article archive). The Sun newspapers are not included in this feed. For future historians and researchers, we need to push for better indexing and archiving of our local stories. The microfilm is kept at CCPL and CPL but how will we find stories such as this one in the Westside Sun News? Ohio City Chief hired by Stark. [1]
I would not have found this story if I had not stopped by the Elizabeth Prentiss Center to drop off books today and happened to glance at a paper on their racks.
