The Country and U.S. State pull-down menus list only country or state names
for which there is a record in the catalog.
Search results will show entries subdivided by smaller geographic area within
that country whenever applicable.
If the Center only owns titles from a single region within the country or
state chosen, the search results will be a brief display of all bibliographic
records from that region.
To perform additional newspaper searches using the pull down menus, go back
to the first page of the catalog by clicking on the “Another search”
button (displayed both at the top and the bottom of the search results page).
Examples of search by Country:
