tbng Inadequate coverage 0 Dec 26 2011, 6:27 AM EST by tbng

After several years of trying to find data on the Lancaster Digitation Project, I continue to be disappointed in what it offers. I will guess that lack of funds is the primary reason, but that does not assuage my disappointment at rarely being able to find information that I am seeking. Lancaster is not well covered by either GenealogyBank or NewspaperArchives and remains a historical black hole as far as online newspaper access is concerned.

Great news! OCLC has agreed to sponsor the anniversary celebration/event. OCLC and Friends of Ganser funding will provide some catered refreshments. OCLC funding will also be used for the exhibition--especially the section dedicated to digital collections.
