Roy and others Using your Lancashire library card access the newspaper database as you usually do. At the very top of the page there is a blue bar with "Preferences" "Change Databases" "Log Out" Click on " Change Databases". You will now see at the top Newsvault (with 17th and 18th century Burney Collection and The Time Digital Archive underneath). Click on Newsvault which brings up the new search platform which you can manipulate to your heart's content. For some strange reason inputting "Stockdill" only comes up with 3 hits. But if you do an Advanced Search putting Stockdill + Entire Document there are 85 hits. Lin PLEASE REMOVE NAMES & email ADDRESSES BEFORE FORWARDING.
