Can you tell me how you did it for Pulaski County? Thanks -- Alice

First, you need to make sure you've got the entire URL. It's a long one and is wrapping to another line. If it's wrapping for you, you need to start here: http://lib.uky.edu/repro/ Click on "Search Database" and the search page will open (which is the URL that I sent the first time). Use the scroll box and pick your county, then click on start search. You'll then get a list of all of the newspapers for the county that have been microfilmed. If your local library doesn't have them (or if you're not anywhere near the library), you can request the ones you're interested in through the inter-library loan. You can also get more specific for your search if you want to.
