Link: Nottinghamshire Guardian Newspaper

[jaywit]

I saw British Newspapers were only accessible from the library, but like Notts Girl said Gale was always accessible from home.
So it looks like it's a cut back from Notts CC. Pity they haven't cut back on all the advertising banners littering lamp posts around here.

Just back from the big library in town. I spoke to 2 people on the help desk, neither knew much about this, in fact I had to show one of them how to navigate the library website

The conclusion is that due to cut backs the council are no longer subscribing to Gale, just the British Newspapers only accessible from the library computers.

An E mail to my councillor I think.

Hi

OK so something going on here then as I've just been on the Gale site with the link on I gave and can still access it myself, when I've put in my card number it brings up a page with the following on and I just click on the box for 19th Century British Newspapers  and use as usual.

Hi All....

Yes , it is really annoying that we can no longer access the Gale/Infotrac newspapers.

It is supposed to be cutbacks and other ways to access them.... hmmm!

I am guessing the reason why Jaywit, Larkspur and me etc can't gain access is because we have Nottinghamshire County Council library cards..... while Wendy has a Nottingham City library card ?

I remember prior to our access to the Gale newspapers , Nottingham City library card holders had access a few years before the rest of Notts. It does feel unfair!

[jaywit]

Although I live in the county my library card was issued by the city( long story ) and I know previously some issued by the county couldn't access Gale but I could.

 So as I can't now it appears that something has happened recently to change this.
