Answer given to question: The printer for the microfilm reader is not working very well so we have been directing the students to a work-around. First go to Newspaper articles, then New York Times, have the student choose the date they were born (on this date). Click on Search Options at the bottom and then have the student choose Front Page from the document type.

All of the articles will appear as results, the only difficulty may be that some articles are blocked by copyright but the majority appear to be available.

Answer given to question: The student had done a search using Criminal Justice Abstracts (EBSCO database) so I showed him how to use the Find It button to find the full-text of articles.

For books, he had not searched the entire collection and therefore had not returned many results. Found plenty of materials by searching the whole collection.
