Working with, and around, OregonLive

Alt.portland has a nice user's guide to the web version of The Oregonian posted today. Most useful is the business at the end about how to search back issues of the O electronically. As we Portland bloggers know too well, after 14 days news articles disappear from OregonLive, the O's affiliated web site, entirely. But if you have a Multnomah County Library card, you've got access to a much deeper archive, back to 1988. Check it out.

Unfortunately, the Library recently changed to you needing a pin # in additin to your library card number, to access their electronic archives, and I keep forgetting to go to a branch and ask where I'm supposed to get a pin #.

The pin # used to be the last four digits of your phone number. You may want to give that a go.

If anyone has questions about how to access library databases, including what their PIN is, they can call the Reference Line, 503-988-5234, during Central Library's open hours.

I'll add the bit about the pin, and the library databases, to the entry. Thanks for the link love!
