[WEB4LIB] Newspaper index database

[Brian Westra]

Barbara, see the Bozeman and Great Falls Newspaper Index, 
at  http://fusion.lib.montana.edu/newspapers/
Data entry is done via forms in MS Access, then the data is imported into 
MySQL. ColdFusion is the Web application server and Verity is used for the 
"full text" searching.

There's also the Montana State periodical index, at 
http://dreams.nris.state.mt.us/spi/Libraryquery.htm. It uses SQL Server and 
active server pages.
