Is this a change in policy? For the past few years NYS residents could order films through interlibrary loan, but there was a nominal fee. Haven't done it for 2 years or so, but think it was between $1.25 and $2.25. However, it was only available to other libraries in NYS. I asked while in Albany at the library and archives doing research about loans to libraries in other states. Several of the librarians didn't know. One finally went and checked and said it was only available to libraries within the NYS library system. I asked because it would obviously of use to people who can't travel to NY state. It would be great if now people could order from other states. If it's not possible, maybe it's because the library system only has a set number of films, and can't allow them to be constantly traveling. Might be too expensive, also. Of course, the index is available to anyone for free online. Does anyone know for sure what the current policy is? ~Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff" <cliff.hayes@earthlink.net> To: <NYOTSEGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [NYOTSEGO] Fred Loucks > This should help you find out what you want. > > Cliff Hayes > > > > > > > New York State Public Library Newspaper Collection > > > > The New York State Public Library in Albany, New York has a vast > collection of the newspapers published in the State going back into the > 1800s or further.
