Most journal vendors also provide newspaper subscriptions, so if your
library uses a subscription agent for journals, they would probably be
able
to step in to fill this void. You can find lists of vendors on Acqweb.

I wouldn't reccommend EBSCO for out-of-town papers unless you can
tolerate
late delivery.  We are currently receiving all of our papers through
EBSCO
and some titles, LA Times for example, take two weeks to arrive. Missing
issues is also a constant problem with mail delivery.

Good afternoon.

I am a new subscriber to this list. I am in a bit of a panic, and was
wondering if anyone could help. We were informed today that the provider
of
the majority of our out-of-town newspapers, Austin News Service, will no
longer exist after Jan 15. Could anyone recommend another service, or
warn
me of services to avoid? Any information would be great. Thanks!
