Louisiana Newspaper Project PrintoutThe 3rd edition of the Louisiana
Newspaper Project Printout represents the records of the Louisiana Newspaper
Project (LNP) as of October 1999. Additions made from
October 1999 to December 2000 are included in Appendix A. Over 1900 individual newspaper titles
and over 6,400 holdings records are included for repositories throughout
Louisiana. WHAT IS IN THE PRINTOUT The Printout
consists of bibliographic and holdings records for issues of Louisiana
newspapers located during the project and retained on a permanent basis by
Louisiana libraries and repositories. Current issues of newspapers that are
discarded after a set time (for example, several months or a year) are not
listed in this printout. As lagniappe, bibliographic records and holdings are
listed for Mississippi newspapers held by the LSU Libraries. This printout is
derived from the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) national online United
States Newspaper Program Union List Database. All records from the USNP,
including those from other states, are available online to libraries that have
access to OCLC Union List. LNP records include bibliographic information such
as newspaper title, place of publication, publisher, beginning and ending dates
of the newspaper when known, frequency of publication, OCLC numbers, and
related newspaper titles. They also include holdings information such as the
codes of libraries that have issues, the dates held, and the format of the
holdings. The LSU Libraries
are committed to maintaining this file by adding or deleting information on
Louisiana newspapers as it is reported to them. As always the online OCLC file
represents the most current information on the location of newspapers listed in
the USNP. ARRANGEMENT OF THE
