Not sure what you are asking. You could try calling those libraries that you searched and ask them why. Here's Proquest's response to my previous email: From: Brauer Bill [mailto:] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 Subject: Re: Historical Newspapers access Hi Donna: You'd have to petition your library to purchase it. We do not sell to individuals who are not representing an organization. We only sell to public libraries, K-12 schools, academics, genealogy societies, etc... you name it! The only way to access this resource is through one of these organizations. Thanks much and good luck!
