The
archives contain most, but not all, of the articles published by your
newspaper, and cover only the more recent years of publication. These
archives are a self-service system. Currently, our staff does not
provide a service to help locate articles.
Please note that
each newspaper may choose to store different content in their archives.
Some articles such as obituaries, wedding announcements, syndicated
columnists, and wire services may not be available for a particular
newspaper. Some newspapers will not archive stock quotes, sports
scores, death notices or classified ads.
If you are having
trouble finding just the right search terms to use, or if you are
trying to narrow your search to find just the right set of articles,
try using our advanced search features.

Just
click on the headline link above the listing of the article you want.
You'll then be able to get full text of the article by using your
credit card. Please note that photos, charts, and graphics are not
included.

It
only takes a few minutes to set up an account, and you can use it right
away. You may use Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover. Your
credit card will be charged only for the articles for which you view
the full text. There are no set-up charges or minimum fees. Because the
information you give us is communicated through a secure connection,
you must use a compatible browser such as Netscape 3.0 or higher, or MS
Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher. You'll also have to enable cookies and
JavaScript.

Searching
the archives is free, but you must pay to view the full text of the
articles. Pricing for articles will range from $2.00 per document to discounted one year passes, depending on what type of package you
purchase. The charge for viewing an article will not occur until the
article has been completely delivered from our server. If you do not
receive the complete text of the article you want, you can click on it
again.

You
will only be charged once for an article even if you happen to view it
more than once, provided the viewings occur within a 24 hour period. If
the viewings are more than 24 hours apart, you will be charged again.

Make
sure that you are using the username that you chose when you registered
for your account. You should have chosen your own password when you
registered, and verified it by typing it twice. Don't confuse your
password with the password hint that you entered; this is not used for
viewing articles. When entering your password, make sure your Caps Lock
key is not on. Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. Also, make
sure you distinguish between the number zero '0' and the upper-case
letter 'O'.
If you are still refused access and have checked the above, please send e-mail to newslibrary@newsbank.com.
Include your full name, username, browser type, browser version and a
brief description of the problem. Your account information is kept

Click the Printer Friendly link (if available) at the top of the article page then click your browser's Print button or choose File, Print to print a hard copy of the newspaper article that you have purchased.
You also have the option to save the article as a file on your desktop using the Save or Save As option from the File menu. This will save the document as an HTML file that can be opened in your browser and printed later.
You
can also use copy and paste to transfer the document into another
application like Word or Notepad. Remember that copyright laws prohibit
using the article in electronic or hard copy forms, except for personal
use.
articles purchased from the archives are for personal use and all
copyright laws apply. If you want to republish an article in print or
electronically, you must get permission from the newspaper.

Your
search may return zero articles for several reasons. If your search
terms are too broad and would require the service to find too many
related articles, you will be told that your search is too general. You
will need to add more terms to your search and be sure to search for
all of the terms or connect them with "and". Searching for any of your
terms or using "or" to connect your terms will increase, not decrease,
the number of articles found. If you are using advanced syntax, you may
receive a syntax error if your search is constructed incorrectly. Refer
to the search help page and try your search again.
SEARCH SESSION EXPIRED:
The "search session expired" message is actually a technical problem
usually caused by an overload of history and temporary internet files
stored within your browser. You should clear both of those items from
your browser then exit the browser and try again.
If this
step does not result in giving you access, either your user search
session has expired due to an extended period of inactivity or your
browser is not set to accept cookies.
Start a new search session if you have not clicked any buttons for a while.
If
your browser is not accepting cookies, change that setting by opening
the screen for your browser's properties or preferences, find the
section for the Cookie Settings (look under advanced) and select the
Accept Cookies option and click to Apply. The server uses those cookies
to keep track of which search results you want to see.

No.
These archives contain only the text of the articles that appeared in
the newspaper. Sometimes, this will also include the cutline, or
caption, of the photographs that were published with the article.
Go to the Gazette Photo Gallery at http://dailygazette.mycapture.com/mycapture/index.asp for reprints of published photographs. Use the information from
the article to refer to the photograph you desire.

Some
newspaper articles are longer than others, and some are even just short
news items called briefs. You probably have seen these in the printed
newspaper in the business or international sections. When choosing the
articles you would like to purchase, make note of the word count listed
with the article on the search results page. Since the results page
will typically show you no more that the first 100 or so words of the
article, the number of words in the entire article will be a good
indication as to how much more information you will receive. Another
hint is to look for the word "Briefs" in the listing of the article on
the results page. This usually indicates a list of short news items.

Refunds
and credits are granted only in cases where you were not able to
retrieve an article that you located. If you successfully retrieved an
article, you are not entitled to a refund, even if that article did not
contain the information you were looking for. If you were unable to
view the full article, please contact Archive Customer Support: newslibrary@newsbank.com or 800-896-5587.
