Thanks for the advice - I didn't (as usual) make myself really clear. The guy at my library tells me the problem with getting films from Buffalo seem to be that we are in different unions. Hah. Anyway, using the list online for the Buffalo library newspapers, in Sept. I asked my library to get me the one I wanted - in Nov I asked again, and in Jan I was told that they would be discussing how to fulfill my request at their staff meeting. I still haven't heard anything. George _grichmon@localnet.com_ (mailto:grichmon@localnet.com) has kindly offered to try to find articles for me.

You might contact the library/archives which has the records/films you want (directly or on their website), and get their procedures for fulfilling an inter-library loan request. Print these out, with any forms needed (fill in your own information on the forms), and GIVE them to your local library. Then "I don't know how to do this" doesn't hold water. I did this myself in getting microfilms from the Canadian National Archives, and it worked. In that case, the Archives has all the details and forms on their website, so I was able to fax the completed forms, instructions, and URL to my local librarian.

[Sigh] I am so sorry to hear this. All they have to do is send a standard interlibrary loan request over to the NY State Library. Sheesh.
