Ryerson Index announcement
« on: Monday 18 January 16 06:12 GMT (UK) »
Some alarming news from the Ryerson Index;-

"It's a good news-bad news report tonight.

"The good news is that we just added 8,646 new records.

"The bad news is that News Corp today removed all their newspapers from Library PressDisplay (LPD). LPD is the web service whereby NLA and the various State Libraries provide online versions of newspapers via their eResources sites, with up to 12 months of back issues available. Both current editions and all back issues were removed with no notice to users. For full details of how it impacts Ryerson, please see our website."
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson

Yes, it certainly was 'without notice'

I was back-indexing some Northern Territory News from 2015 on Saturday morning early (16/1/16), went to have breakfast, and when I came back it was unavailable!

What a blow!  It affects indexing of quite a few major papers   :'(  :'(  :'(
