To search the State Library of Pennsylvania's catalog for Clearfield newspapers, go to the "Newspapers" overview web page: http://www.statelibrary.state.pa.us/libraries/cwp/view.asp?a=15&Q=40148 Click on the link to "PILOT" in the main text or the link to "Catalog/PILOT" under Access Services on the left side of the page. You can also go directly to the catalog with this web address: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8020/ Once your in the catalog, type "clearfield" in the Search For box under Basic Search. Then click on "Call Number" in the Search By list. Click on the Search button and you should get a list of Clearfield newspapers with the call number (including publication dates) on the left and the newspaper's name on the right. If you click on a call number or newspaper name, you'll get a page with details on the library's holdings for that paper. If a paper's Location includes "Newspaper Microfilm," then its available on microfilm. The dates under Older Issues will tell you which editions are included on the microfilm reels. For information on ordering the microfilms through interlibrary loan, check out the library's "Interlibrary Loan" web page: http://www.statelibrary.state.pa.us/libraries/cwp/view.asp?a=2&Q=37453 I hope that helps. Good luck with your research! Guy Cleveland, Ohio | guyfisher@yahoo.com
