From:To:

I went to a meeting in the SW library yesterday to demonstrate the newresources available online so thought I would pass on to you in case youhave not come across them. They are all resources which you would normallyhave to pay a subscription for but ECC Libraries have paid this and so anylibrary card holder can access them. All you need is your library card withits number and a password which is normally the last three letters of yourpostcode. If you go online, the site will guide you through the process:

www.essexcc. ov.uk/libraries

Some of the resources can only be found at the library, such as Book Search(details of all books in print in the UK) and Britannica Online, but thefollowing are available to people using the internet from home so long asthey have a library card:

Times Digital Archive - the full text from 1785 to 1985Newspapers Online - the last 5 years onwards from 14 UK national newspapersMagazines Online - searches 1,950 general periodicalsGrove Encyclopedia of Music - includes sound clipsGrove Encyclopedia of Art - includes images

The usefulness of this to local historians is enormous. For instance onNewspapers Online, you could just search on the name of your village and ifit was mentioned anywhere in the national press in the last five years, eg aletter to the editor from a resident, you would get the text come up and canthen print it off or save it to a Word file on your computer.

Times Digital Archive is absolutely amazing. If your village has beenmentioned in The Times anywhere, you will find it. I tried it out on theMoat Farm Murder of Clavering and got the full text of all the trial reportswhich appeared in 1903 and have now got printouts for our village archives.I have also tried it out at home for a photograph of a wartime church paradein Claveringwhich I knew the Times had printed in 1944 and got a copy of that too.

Our session with Martyn also revealed that from mid-April SW Library will bea Learning Direct Centre where you can sign up for a wide range of onlinecourse - the contact for this at the library is Sara Willard. For the moment
