We'll start with the view from the East Coast with articles from Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and the Washington Post, and travel back to the West Coast with articles from the San Francisco Chronicle and then hop across the pond to the Economist. We'll finish off with a Doja Cat palette cleanser. Articles are linked through SFPL databases whenever possible, so get your library card ready if you're reading from home. <br /></p><h2 class="evxsf2b0 css-1ruciut-StyledHeadline-BigTopHeadline e1ipbpvp0" style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/tech-millionaires-take-on-politicians-fight-fix/docview/2923497626/se-2?accountid=35117" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/tech-millionaires-take-on-politicians-fight-fix/docview/2923497626/se-2?accountid=35117" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/tech-millionaires-take-on-politicians-fight-fix/docview/2923497626/se-2?accountid=35117" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsM_5cRCqNGmRhKLHR-KTyOe1r7aOVvFO3yr_qOaxdMZ3NUy0yh1zW4ag1gRrbkP5LaejVm3V3gbmXfr40nNfU3ZLfYKNihYTtEOzNPcka7cGacZDAZeZYhsZQWoWqmlIvmPTgtPeReWKwT4DFZgTxPTl5jNLNhXCHqWLxGpqQG3rJGS7TCgaBM1aAz-Y/s993/Screenshot%202024-02-29%20111538.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="891" data-original-width="993" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsM_5cRCqNGmRhKLHR-KTyOe1r7aOVvFO3yr_qOaxdMZ3NUy0yh1zW4ag1gRrbkP5LaejVm3V3gbmXfr40nNfU3ZLfYKNihYTtEOzNPcka7cGacZDAZeZYhsZQWoWqmlIvmPTgtPeReWKwT4DFZgTxPTl5jNLNhXCHqWLxGpqQG3rJGS7TCgaBM1aAz-Y/s320/Screenshot%202024-02-29%20111538.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/newspapers/tech-millionaires-take-on-politicians-fight-fix/docview/2923497626/se-2?accountid=35117" target="_blank">Tech Millionaires Take On Politicians in a Fight to Fix San Francisco</a></h2><h4 class="css-1gn5ugf-Dek-Dek-BigTopDek e10dsoc81" style="text-align: left;">Executives are trying to combat crime, drug abuse and homelessness. ‘Enough is enough, we’re getting involved in the muck.’</h4><div class="css-1gn5ugf-Dek-Dek-BigTopDek e10dsoc81" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Wall Street Journal, February 9, 2024</span></div><div class="css-1gn5ugf-Dek-Dek-BigTopDek e10dsoc81" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><br /></div><div class="evxsf2b0 css-1ruciut-StyledHeadline-BigTopHeadline e1ipbpvp0" style="text-align: left;">Written by the WSJ's tech reporter based in San Francisco, Preetika Rana, this article doesn't tell us anything we don't know, but it summarizes the situation from a vantage of a newspaper concerned with money stuff published three-thousand miles away.

In the article, the author talks about the ideas found in the book <i>Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time</i> by Sheila Liming (<a href="https://sflib1.sfpl.org/search~/a?SORT=D&searchscope=1&searchtype=t&searcharg=Hanging+Out%3A+The+Radical+Power+of+Killing+Time&SORT=D&x=56&y=8" target="_blank">available in many formats through SFPL</a>) and offers some suggestions for ways to kill time with your friends like we use to do as teenagers.

The best part is when Givhan subtly defends Willis's use of cash by alluding to all the reasons a woman of color would rely on cash that Willis didn't mention, all of which come back to the structural racism and <span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">misogyny</span></span> that exist in the American banking system. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> __________________________________</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info%3Asid/infoweb.newsbank.com&svc_dat=AMNEWS&req_dat=C4A791F4197B4BD28C27A2A6A0C93929&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi/fmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&rft_dat=document_id%3Aimage%252Fv2%253A162AD59E09CF8538%2540AWNB-197330B7FA1474AD%25402460366-19767C7FAD534231%25401-19767C7FAD534231%2540/hlterms%3ANolte" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info%3Asid/infoweb.newsbank.com&svc_dat=AMNEWS&req_dat=C4A791F4197B4BD28C27A2A6A0C93929&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi/fmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&rft_dat=document_id%3Aimage%252Fv2%253A162AD59E09CF8538%2540AWNB-197330B7FA1474AD%25402460366-19767C7FAD534231%25401-19767C7FAD534231%2540/hlterms%3ANolte" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglUXyf3Kz_dP1XsVQsl2bvYuI3emDeOY70cT0RF0HIPAI9PSD3VhDDi6JioVLD6Rhi7hW98_XL7QjYk6qZ_fetLwGYsJqcL59W_2ybHQjxk09Cx7OCHqrmjgpnUgh7wwm8Y7p8Zxi-D9fvBdcHH81R6JXTI9p7wAcx7TlNcYLk7KTuOm9YcgX8f5NEyCc/s577/Screenshot%202024-02-29%20161228.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="577" data-original-width="450" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglUXyf3Kz_dP1XsVQsl2bvYuI3emDeOY70cT0RF0HIPAI9PSD3VhDDi6JioVLD6Rhi7hW98_XL7QjYk6qZ_fetLwGYsJqcL59W_2ybHQjxk09Cx7OCHqrmjgpnUgh7wwm8Y7p8Zxi-D9fvBdcHH81R6JXTI9p7wAcx7TlNcYLk7KTuOm9YcgX8f5NEyCc/s320/Screenshot%202024-02-29%20161228.png" width="250" /></a></div><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info%3Asid/infoweb.newsbank.com&svc_dat=AMNEWS&req_dat=C4A791F4197B4BD28C27A2A6A0C93929&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi/fmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&rft_dat=document_id%3Aimage%252Fv2%253A162AD59E09CF8538%2540AWNB-197330B7FA1474AD%25402460366-19767C7FAD534231%25401-19767C7FAD534231%2540/hlterms%3ANolte" target="_blank">How Can City Be Both Beautiful and Ugly?</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">San Francisco Chronicle, February 25, 2024 <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Regular "Native Son" columnist Carl Nolte offers a poetic reflection on the dichotomy we have here in our urban reality as he describes what he sees as he goes about his business one day: those people hauling five foot sacks of recyclables on the 24 bus line; eleven ships floating on a slate-grey bay. Part philosophical musing, part observation, Nolte reminds us that sometimes the most important thing you can do is look around and bear witness. Someone has to remember the broken down gas stations and how the hustle and bustle is returning to Market Street. Otherwise we loose our footing in the flow of time and can't mark change. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> __________________________________</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/magazines/comeback-city/docview/2926694926/se-2?accountid=35117" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/magazines/comeback-city/docview/2926694926/se-2?accountid=35117" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgCtpev-UY3Ct2Pc5hV9IsbUQ74SNSbkdhuAbF0Sb34kZ0pN6xABDTjnE3c49dFlmykjhpaBhXiaYsYhTnSQYlf_RD0qaVwa2IIngnJfAEwCP-XUQWpvWncBbQqm7c0UzfrYlDy9zzIoVKPatSLj14Nc-g9LY2IvJ1uoiMk2yWjKHMxp723fBy5w2NKM/s709/Screenshot%202024-02-29%20163158.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="709" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgCtpev-UY3Ct2Pc5hV9IsbUQ74SNSbkdhuAbF0Sb34kZ0pN6xABDTjnE3c49dFlmykjhpaBhXiaYsYhTnSQYlf_RD0qaVwa2IIngnJfAEwCP-XUQWpvWncBbQqm7c0UzfrYlDy9zzIoVKPatSLj14Nc-g9LY2IvJ1uoiMk2yWjKHMxp723fBy5w2NKM/s320/Screenshot%202024-02-29%20163158.png" width="320" /></a></div>Comeback City </h2><p style="text-align: left;">The Economist, February 17, 2024 </p><p style="text-align: left;">Cited in Nolte's column linked above, this Economist article--published in London, England as Nolte points out-- heralds San Francisco's comeback, spurning the doom loop narrative while also acknowledging what the city has been through in the past five years.

I'm learning to love myself, so the way that I love other people is very different. I don't feel like a lost little teen.

The inspiration and research behind Faheem Majeed's "Freedom Stand"
</h1>
</header>
<p>One hundred and eighty-seven different newspaper front pages have graced Faheem Majeed’s towering <i>Freedom’s Stand</i>
over the course of the past year. From prominent people to notable
events, these newspapers have given snapshots of US history through the
lenses and words of Black America—spanning the last 200 years and from
all across the 50 states.</p>
<p>“The Black voice is not myopic—it’s expansive and also conflicting,” Majeed says of the materials he found during the making of <i>Freedom’s Stand</i>.
“That’s what’s so exciting about this [project]… The expanse is really
fascinating to think about, [especially] when the Black voice is
oftentimes pigeonholed and controlled.”</p>
<p><b>Watch this recent <a href="http://sfpl.org" rel="noopener" target="_blank">San Francisco Public Library</a>
talk with Majeed where he and his research assistant, Shola Jimoh,
delve into the inspiration and the archival research behind his artwork

<div class="field field--name-body field__item"><p>Interact
with a curated selection of women’s magazines from the library’s
collection in this hands-on activity covering more than 150 years of
publishing in the United States. </p>
<p>For your awe and interrogation, fifteen different women’s magazines
from the 1850s to 2020s invite your analysis. Learn about milestone
moments in the history of publishing women’s magazines from a Magazines
and Newspapers Center librarian. Following a librarian-created
checklist, trace concepts of gender roles, feminine beauty and fashion,
suffrage, women’s liberation and feminism through the spread of
magazines both commercial and independent. Identify variations in
editorial tone and graphic representation and question the motivation of
each publication for embodying its respective attributes. Receive
guidance on accessing the print issues of each magazine featured in the
workshop through the library’s holdings, as well as how to access and
view digitized versions of the magazines through the library’s website.</p>
<p>You are encouraged to bring your smartphone to snap photos of
magazine content to share with other participants through the course of
the activity.</p>

about the significance of the African American press and how it inspires
today’s modern artists. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>In September 2022 Majeed premiered the site-specific sculpture that
features a rotating selection of front pages of historical and
contemporary African American newspapers and magazines at the High Line
in New York City, and the sculpture’s exhibition will close in April
2024. Learn how Majeed developed the idea for this sculpture’s content
and form, and why he drew inspiration for the sculpture from the
structures of the Dogon granaries in West Mali. Majeed will be joined by
his research assistant Shola Jimoh to discuss the selection process for
the publications and front-page headlines that have rotated through the
display for the past year and a half. Go deeper as we investigate not
only the informational value of Black newspapers, but also the social,
spiritual and artistic significance these publications continue to bring
to bear in our current culture. </p>

Two dreamers at <i>Esquire</i>, needing a photo for their Golden Age of Jazz issue, decided to take a chance... <br /></blockquote><blockquote>Contacting club owners, the musicians’ union local, recording studios,
and songwriters, Kane sent an open invitation with time and date. 10
a.m. August 12. Benton expected a dozen musicians might show. But
here they came. . . ”</blockquote><p>What resulted was the stuff that magic's made out of: a photograph of all the living jazz legends in New York City immortalized as a <i>great day in Harlem</i>. The issue containing this photo, others, and more features on the golden age of jazz was published the following January, in 1959. </p><p>You're in luck... to take a look yourself... all you need is a San Francisco Public Library card!</p><p>The <a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=esm&jid=KQL0&site=ehost-live" target="_blank"><i>Esquire </i>digital archive</a> of all magazine content from 1933 to 2014 is available through the SFPL databases. </p><h1 style="text-align: center;">On view for you: <i> </i></h1><h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=esm&bquery=JN+%26quot%3bEsquire%26quot%3b+AND+DT+19590101+NOT+PM+AOP&type=0&searchMode=And&site=ehost-live" target="_blank"><i>Esquire</i> January, 1959<br /></a></h1><p>Click the link above to view the collection of articles on The Golden Age of Jazz published in the issue.</p><p>For your viewing pleasure... the iconic photo that started it all! <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHEWKz47Ig_COaRSYp4zT-Nig8EQMf80wxXqCr_uHpgNNsLF_UBk6aocA3NRhIyfGNAt1kbDJ47K42gTULI7fQ4k89s9Pc3L2WSKNxb-5kxd_a8EWzVsfHxrF8UpWbzNBN5kSO2H3iY_WJlGkxf5W-EZT4P6gkhxoyawxay6cPJZbgZkVN9rZ2_B0CiBk/s1160/Screenshot%202024-02-07%20144200.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="753" data-original-width="1160" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHEWKz47Ig_COaRSYp4zT-Nig8EQMf80wxXqCr_uHpgNNsLF_UBk6aocA3NRhIyfGNAt1kbDJ47K42gTULI7fQ4k89s9Pc3L2WSKNxb-5kxd_a8EWzVsfHxrF8UpWbzNBN5kSO2H3iY_WJlGkxf5W-EZT4P6gkhxoyawxay6cPJZbgZkVN9rZ2_B0CiBk/w400-h260/Screenshot%202024-02-07%20144200.png" width="400" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=esm&AN=121713222&site=ehost-live" target="_blank"> FOUR DECADES OF JAZZ MUSICIANS </a><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p>Looking for more recent <i>Esquire</i> content?

publishers dabbling, with little success, in using generative-AI to
automate their content mill. Up for analysis are the ethical concerns,
business aspects and technical issues at the heart of the conflict
between machine-written articles and human-created journalism. In asking
what could go wrong with using AI-generated content, we find that a lot
can go wrong, actually. </p>

Depressive and battling his own mental illness according to Van Gogh, Gachet was a patron of the arts, a collector, and an amateur print maker. As part of the treatment, Gachet prescribed Van Gogh to paint and accepted the artist's paintings as payment for his medical treatment. Gachet had a very impressive collection of paintings that he had amassed, and fifteen years after Van Gogh's death, Gachet loaned the two paintings in the image above—a portrait Van Gogh painted of Gachet and a Van Gogh self portrait—to a major retrospective of Van Gogh's work. </p><p style="text-align: center;">__________________________________ </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6iQ39p5OnOWPw94bvXIBTETWXUtLFMRoUOraROQlHQm6JTbkpUE53vorS6PruhAY2_8nTFPkKqF6dQRbsNvWsrO5yS29oU5Blb1DnHgkojvPCdE4Yhdaki-lzphS6RulA6dw9Fnxl9Zc6-TGLesRUNJMh-XrghqRoEcZ6u9NlDTVWFoCiIWB8MnYORXg/s804/Screenshot%202024-01-30%20132942.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="761" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6iQ39p5OnOWPw94bvXIBTETWXUtLFMRoUOraROQlHQm6JTbkpUE53vorS6PruhAY2_8nTFPkKqF6dQRbsNvWsrO5yS29oU5Blb1DnHgkojvPCdE4Yhdaki-lzphS6RulA6dw9Fnxl9Zc6-TGLesRUNJMh-XrghqRoEcZ6u9NlDTVWFoCiIWB8MnYORXg/s320/Screenshot%202024-01-30%20132942.png" width="303" /></a></div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span class="M07MM UAxMv g8O9y"> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/21/opinion/pitchfork-gq-internet-media.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Rk0.GYjP.UxDZT5DpIgmn&bgrp=g&smid=url-share" target="_blank">I Am Going to Miss Pitchfork, but That’s Only Half the Problem</a></span></h2><p><span class="M07MM UAxMv g8O9y">New York Times, January 21, 2024 <br /></span></p><p></p><p>(Note: this opinion piece is linked as a gift article; you can set up your own free NYT access with a 72 hr access code to view website-only content. <a href="https://sfpl.libanswers.com/faq/166904" target="_blank">See instructions</a>.) </p><p>Another one bites the dust—this time Pitchfork is being folded into GQ—but opinion columnist Ezra Klein points out the bigger problem in journalism and media. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">__________________________________ </p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-01-23/sports-illustrated-s-strange-merger?srnd=undefined" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-01-23/sports-illustrated-s-strange-merger?srnd=undefined" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCcAXVuh_R7wSh5kb6YCW8LZ3dar60YdgOgh7R8UaV6tJsSo-J0jGL-RqL_Ft7OgankA8sE8MFAQH0o1VEiq71EIO1lWLnT4_U2aCZ72YpBOEQrN-PODAIm01r7H_yQi3h5l5yn3d86OKlE5ckthiy3BUWcCutQbgjAu5VZP9gon75Ofycnb-XIn4X7I/s375/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20182630.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="208" data-original-width="375" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCcAXVuh_R7wSh5kb6YCW8LZ3dar60YdgOgh7R8UaV6tJsSo-J0jGL-RqL_Ft7OgankA8sE8MFAQH0o1VEiq71EIO1lWLnT4_U2aCZ72YpBOEQrN-PODAIm01r7H_yQi3h5l5yn3d86OKlE5ckthiy3BUWcCutQbgjAu5VZP9gon75Ofycnb-XIn4X7I/s320/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20182630.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-01-23/sports-illustrated-s-strange-merger?srnd=undefined" target="_blank">Sports Illustrated’s Strange Merger</a></h2><p>Bloomberg, January 23, 2024 </p><p>(Note: you might need to create a free account on Bloomberg to read this article.

What's more, the donor's DNA was riddled with genetic predispositions for a variety of painful medical conditions that she shares with these newly discovered siblings.

The elaborate plans and dogged thinking covered in the story are fascinating--like how he managed to orchestrate collecting DNA evidence by posing as a trash man. Also interesting is the way Sunnyvale manages its public safety employees, cycling them through police duties, firefighting duties, and EMT duties. When it's easy to see the gulf between the plot of a detective television show and real life, a person like Hutchison gets profiled in way that restores your faith in humanity. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">__________________________________ </p><p></p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/22/briefing/local-journalism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SE0.IUOm.Gd63QGAuR_FL&bgrp=g&smid=url-share" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/22/briefing/local-journalism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SE0.IUOm.Gd63QGAuR_FL&bgrp=g&smid=url-share" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwWU2Q7chkOtMKQhwSdufXFvfvT7mTNJXBDx_tBhZ_1C3Arop05ODp_ae8ik8l_dSe6HzLcyZMAitusRqxF6Mi-dPpNs-rmt1ogGimYGFpyZHuYm6OucYyD_48Oddo1UKQH2K3HSkcN6NOttWq7sYbFiJQW6CG9wksbqEcgfgFhoULC6ZMR85_csKfWA/s599/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20183811.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="528" data-original-width="599" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwWU2Q7chkOtMKQhwSdufXFvfvT7mTNJXBDx_tBhZ_1C3Arop05ODp_ae8ik8l_dSe6HzLcyZMAitusRqxF6Mi-dPpNs-rmt1ogGimYGFpyZHuYm6OucYyD_48Oddo1UKQH2K3HSkcN6NOttWq7sYbFiJQW6CG9wksbqEcgfgFhoULC6ZMR85_csKfWA/s320/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20183811.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/22/briefing/local-journalism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SE0.IUOm.Gd63QGAuR_FL&bgrp=g&smid=url-share" target="_blank">The Rebirth of Local Journalism</a><br /></h2><p>New York Times Morning Newsletter, December 22, 2023</p><p>(Note: this NYT newsletter piece is linked as a gift article; you can set up

was the first African American newspaper printed in California. It came
into existence as the need for a Black newspaper became evident as a
result of the <a href="https://omeka.coloredconventions.org/state-conventions#California" target="_blank">Colored Conventions that began happening in California</a> in 1855 and to serve as an organ of the fight for Black testimony rights and education. Jonas H. Townsend was an important leader for the 1855, 1856, and 1857 Colored Conventions, and was a founding member and editor of the <i>Mirror of the Times</i>.<br /></p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOIeivsKQXJ_yRDpYQgGlrLQWA0r8ZH38zDCpXxszO1K5XMjK9xxs5VF6FerM0XmseISOHHKiGq3TAwOYTUx7wZLIGhpy2z828_OSk4U90XcJtn5EjdbdBCy1tzCzSC54aPla99q7K-K263huLgUnJfYeJ1MKR7fMIP2004kD__yesG2EBpmdvxxUf_fc/s945/mirror_of_the_times_12_12_1857.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="945" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOIeivsKQXJ_yRDpYQgGlrLQWA0r8ZH38zDCpXxszO1K5XMjK9xxs5VF6FerM0XmseISOHHKiGq3TAwOYTUx7wZLIGhpy2z828_OSk4U90XcJtn5EjdbdBCy1tzCzSC54aPla99q7K-K263huLgUnJfYeJ1MKR7fMIP2004kD__yesG2EBpmdvxxUf_fc/w400-h381/mirror_of_the_times_12_12_1857.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Front page of the Dec. 12, 1857 issue of </i>Mirror of the Times<i>.

In fact it may be impossible to determine the start and end date with certainty lacking the discovery of another issue of the paper. </p><p>Most likely the first issue of the newspaper was printed on September 13, 1856. This date originates in <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1568888~S3" target="_blank"><i>A History of California Newspapers</i></a> by Edward Kemble, a California "pioneer" and San Francisco newspaperman active in the newspaper milieu of 1840s-50s. The book was originally published in 1858. Snorgrass, writing in the <i>California History</i> journal in 1981, asserts the first issue would be October 31, 1856, but that date is figured by counting backward from known issues and assumes the newspaper was printed on a weekly schedule like clockwork. Those of us who work with periodicals know they can be a gnarly format and it is not a surefire bet to count backward like Snorgrass does. </p><p>Meanwhile, the <i>Mirror of the Times </i>is listed in Gregory's Union List of Newspapers (available at the Magazines and Newspapers Center reference desk), which cannot be said for many early Californian newspapers, but that index has the dates of publication as 1857-1858. <br /></p><p>Kemble's <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1568888~S3" target="_blank"><i>A History of California Newspapers</i></a> says of the <i>Mirror</i>, "Early in the year, the <i>Weekly Mirror of the Times</i> was founded by some colored men, as an advocate of the interests of the Africans of the State. It died early in '58. It was edited by Jonas H. Townsend" (127). <br /></p><p>Later, in the Index to Newspapers (p. 284) in the back of the book, it says:</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>Mirror of the Times</i>......................... 127</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">w S 13 1856-1858?</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">Negro</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">reprinted articles from San Francisco <i>Pacific </i>and <i>Post</i></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">see also: Moore, J. J.; Newly, W. H.<i>; </i>Townsend, Jonas H. </p><p><i> </i>This information, while valuable, also propagates errors: the Newly noted in Kemble's index should be William H. <b><i>Newby</i></b>, not Newly. Newby isn't as widely described as his colleagues in the literature, but Moore and Townsend do appear in the <i>African American National Biography</i>. </p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Growing Comfortable with Ambiguity <br /></h2><p>Maybe it does not matter the exact dates of the <i>Mirror of the Times</i> without new issues being discovered. What does matter is the historical significance and context of the publication, which has been more illuminated since the founding of the digital humanities <a href="https://coloredconventions.org/" target="_blank">Colored Conventions Project</a>. The other thing that matters is the names of the people involved in this venture: Moore, Newby, and Townsend, all of whom Kemble mentions, as well as Mifflin Wistar Gibbs, who is easily the most well known of the four men. Long after <i>The Mirror of the Times </i>ceased publication, these men continued to involve themselves in abolitionism and fighting for African American equality. <br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">Townsend</h3><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If only San Francisco's Townsend Street were named after our guy, Jonas Holland Townsend. Alas, it is named after another Townsend. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Townsend helped found <i>The Mirror of the Times </i>and was its editor. </div><p>In the Library of Congress's <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83027100/" target="_blank"><i>Mirror of the Times</i> info page</a>, Townsend's life narrative is given form; meanwhile, on the Colored Conventions Project Documents site, it is possible to digitally access <a href="https://omeka.coloredconventions.org/items/show/333" target="_blank">Townsend's preamble at the 1856 Colored Convention</a>. The entry on Townsend in volume 7 of the <i><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1155186~S1" target="_blank">African American National Biography</a></i> sketches his life a bit more fully and offers this 1855 description of Townsend before he came out to California as part of the gold rush: "a tall, sedate, prim, puritanical, intellectual looking young man. We soon took the starch out of him... and transformed him from an embryo country person to a regular New York business man" (626). </p><h3 style="text-align: center;">Moore</h3><p>Moore is well known as a pastor for the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church and worked closely with Townsend to found the <i>Mirror of the Times.</i> Later, he also wrote for the Black San Francisco newspaper <i>The Elevator</i>. His life is sketched out in volume 5 of the <i><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1155186~S1" target="_blank">African American National Biography</a> </i>and is the subject of an article by Montesano published in 1973. <br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">Newby </h3><p>What do we know about William H. Newby? He's not in the <i><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1155186~S1" target="_blank">African American National Biography</a> </i>and his name isn't even spelled right in Kemble's newspaper history! Thankfully, English professor Eric Gardner devotes several pages to Newby in chapter three of his book <i><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b2366165~S3" target="_blank">Unexpected Places: Relocating Nineteenth-Century African American Literature</a>, </i>positioning Newby as a lightning rod of Black intellectualism in gold rush San Francisco. Active in the Colored Conventions like the others, Newby was also important to the founding of the <i>Mirror </i>and wrote for its pages. <br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">State Executive Committee </h3><p>Many others were involved with the <i>Mirror of the Times</i> enterprise, including Gibbs, who is given maybe a little too much credit in <a href="https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/gibbs-mifflin-wistar-1823-1915/" target="_blank">other places on the web</a> for his contribution to the <i>Mirror of the Times</i>. Below is a detailed clipping from the Dec. 12, 1857 issue with the full Committee membership listed. This group was a coalition of individuals formed from the Colored
Convention attendees who functioned as the publisher of the newspaper, managing the paper's finances and smooth running. </p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmC4jBVAgljGZ8bHdXyQEIbvgza_CIEw3MHIXyvyBzaCRA323cz5ea89TlbhO_12Q5YgOappmKxvFA4crSCVDs6JYJJQlCmXaKBbqsfUA0CHSTn5MCSWj4TYfEYFitK9bW8m33QSMxsnC0XTn2-B5eL7VYzB_mfNpdTTFkcKl5ZwfBTy-67VbUX8B7xJg/s641/Screenshot%202024-01-20%20145753.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="417" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmC4jBVAgljGZ8bHdXyQEIbvgza_CIEw3MHIXyvyBzaCRA323cz5ea89TlbhO_12Q5YgOappmKxvFA4crSCVDs6JYJJQlCmXaKBbqsfUA0CHSTn5MCSWj4TYfEYFitK9bW8m33QSMxsnC0XTn2-B5eL7VYzB_mfNpdTTFkcKl5ZwfBTy-67VbUX8B7xJg/w416-h640/Screenshot%202024-01-20%20145753.png" width="416" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">List includes: M.

Gardner says, "The reasons for the hiatus between the <i>Mirror</i> and the <i>Pacific Appeal</i> remain fuzzy and are probably tied to a combination of financial factors and political events: it seems very likely that the <i>Appeal </i>was largely funded because of California blacks' hopes vis-à-vis the Civil War" (210n30).

Where to read? Try a directory to look up information about specific magazines. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="#">Ulrichs, a.k.a. Ulrichsweb</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Ulrichsweb is an easy-to-search source of detailed information on more
than 300,000 periodicals (also called serials) of all types: academic
and scholarly journals, e-journals, peer-reviewed titles, popular
magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and more. It's also possible to do an advanced search to identify publications in the subject of <i>arts and literature</i>. This is a database provided by SFPL. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://duotrope.com/" target="_blank">DuoTrope </a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Duotrope is a subscription-based service that provides a searchable directory of literary publishers and agents. It also provides a calendar of deadlines and a personal submission tracker. DuoTrope is so connected to the indie writing scene that sometimes it has more accurate information about publications than Ulrichs. DuoTrope also is the proprietor of the Duosuma submission software and portal, a competitor to Submittable. This is not a resource available through SFPL, but is a resource every serious writer should consider using.

Plenty of access options are available, whether your beloved mag is behind a paywall or not. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=edspub&profile=eds&plp=1" target="_blank">Periodical Finder</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Option 1: Search by title for a known lit magazine <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Periodical Finder is your tool for locating electronic access to magazines through the SFPL subscriptions.

The last link, SFPL Print Collection, will take you to the classic SFPL catalog, which will give you information about the print holdings. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Option 2: Browse the Literature and Writing discipline, available from the bottom of the Periodical Finder landing page. Explore the facets on the left side to tailor your result list to the type of lit mags you're after. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://flipster.ebsco.com/c/gswfel" target="_blank">Flipster</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Flipster is an e-magazine platform the library subscribes to. You can look at on your desktop as a website, or use it on an app for Android or iOS. It is possible to browse the <a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://flipster.ebsco.com/c/gswfel/browse?category=Literary" target="_blank"><i>literary</i> category</a> upon entering the platform to see what magazines they have on offer. It's a great interface that totally simulates the experience of paging through a physical magazine. Titles available in Flipster will also show up in Periodical Finder. Some of my favorite lit mags in Flipster include <a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://flipster.ebsco.com/c/gswfel/details/3758180?backTo=%2Fc%2Fgswfel%2Fbrowse%3Fcategory%3DLiterary" target="_blank"><i>Poetry </i>magazine</a> and <i><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://flipster.ebsco.com/c/gswfel/results?q=HJ%2046AO&db=eon&auth-callid=c8aa58a2-969b-91bc-a96e-9374f0df5432" target="_blank">Room Magazine</a></i>. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">On the open web </h2><p style="text-align: left;">There are so many literary mags that are free on the open web! Those ones will show up in DuoTrope, but not necessarily Ulrichs. Don't discount them just because they're free online. For example, the University of San Francisco literary journal, <a href="https://www.invisiblecitylit.com/" target="_blank"><i>Invisible City</i></a>, is free online (and ad-free!). Use your Google-fu (or whatever search engine you please) to find lists other writers have put together of the "best" online lit mags. <br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Print Lit Mags</h1><div style="text-align: left;">Some prefer the prestige of physical literary magazines. Some prefer just having something physical in their hands to read. That's part of why I love the print version of <i>Poetry </i>magazine: it's a slim companion that doesn't take up much room wherever I go, so I often carry my personal copy in my backpack.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">We have a rich selection of literary magazines on display in the 5th floor Magazines and Newspapers Center reading room at the Main Library. The most recent issue of each title is put on display as soon as we receive it. <br /></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>A Public Space</li><li>Alfred Hitchcock's mystery </li><li>American poetry review</li><li>American short fiction</li><li>Analog Science Fiction & Fact</li><li>Booklist </li><li>Bookmarks </li><li>Calyx</li><li>Creative nonfiction</li><li>Ellery Queen's mystery </li><li>Five points</li><li>ForeWord </li><li>Fourteen hills </li><li>Fourth genre </li><li>Georgia review</li><li>Granta</li><li>Kirkus reviews </li><li>Locus </li><li>Mad</li><li>Massachusetts review</li><li>Meanjin</li><li>Modern poetry in translation </li><li>New American Writing</li><li>New Letters</li><li>Paris review</li><li>Poetry</li><li>Publisher's Weekly</li><li>Science Fiction Studies</li><li>Sewanee review</li><li>Southern Cultures</li><li>Virginia quarterly review, The</li><li>World literature today</li><li>Writer, The</li><li>Yale Review</li><li>Zoetrope </li><li>Zyzzyva</li></ul><div style="text-align: left;">There are more of these behind the scenes. Ask for help from the librarian nearby, or search in the <a href="https://sflib1.sfpl.org/search" target="_blank">classic SFPL catalog</a> to see what else we have. <br /></div><h1 style="text-align: left;">Trade Magazines for Writers </h1><p style="text-align: left;">These ones don't necessarily offer creative writing to be read, but they are trade publications for people exactly like you: writers both aspiring and established, writers of both poetry and prose. They give valuable advice on opportunities for getting published and finding time and space to write, and feature essays by other writers about the craft and experience of being a creative writer. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i></i></p><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbgrCmnepYvwIKrWEnDZKnViNCaZQXGWvk3yNDUZJyYs-LdhFj8ku_nZ0ih9yFJqOx-5T-vfO23GaFGH_6PajlmcdsYB7bQvb09xyqsdAY2ki0UYY_m6687-7PQ4-xJ4I9_VR2zUCcSk-u_E7BlThQKEYo0RayAikqA77SD3GsvA_jH696Gf-OxAHaj20/s754/Screenshot%202024-01-09%20165008.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="585" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbgrCmnepYvwIKrWEnDZKnViNCaZQXGWvk3yNDUZJyYs-LdhFj8ku_nZ0ih9yFJqOx-5T-vfO23GaFGH_6PajlmcdsYB7bQvb09xyqsdAY2ki0UYY_m6687-7PQ4-xJ4I9_VR2zUCcSk-u_E7BlThQKEYo0RayAikqA77SD3GsvA_jH696Gf-OxAHaj20/w155-h200/Screenshot%202024-01-09%20165008.png" width="155" /></a></i></div><i><br />Poets & Writers</i> is available in <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1833808~S3" target="_blank">print in the library</a> and <a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://flipster.ebsco.com/c/gswfel/details/3758202?backTo=%2Fc%2Fgswfel%2Fbrowse%3Fcategory%3DLiterary" target="_blank">online in Flipster</a>.

Whenever you encounter a magazine that speaks your language, visit their website to see if they have a free newsletter you can sign up for. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://mslexia.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mslexia</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Coming out of the U.K., this is a magazine "for women who write," and while SFPL does not currently subscribe to it, the magazine offers a free newsletter through their website, sponsors writing contests, and offers support and products for purchase for women writers. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.submittable.com/" target="_blank">Submittable</a> </h2><p style="text-align: left;">No aspiring writer worth their salt doesn't have a Submittable account. Calling itself "A social impact platform that's good for all" nowadays, Submittable started as a solution for independent lit mag editors to manage submissions in a streamlined way. It remains the most commonly used platform for lit mags to accept submissions for publication consideration. Once you have a Submittable account, it becomes much easier to submit your work and to track your submissions. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://litmagnews.substack.com/" target="_blank">Lit Mag News Substack</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">This Substack email newsletter, which you can read online like a blog and which boasts robust comments on the posts, tackles all issues germane to the independent publishing industry, from both the writer's perspective and the editor's. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b2664056~S1" target="_blank">Paper dreams : writers and editors on the American literary magazine</a></h2><p style="text-align: left;">Special shoutout to this book, which gives context, backstory, and rejuvenation to the slog through getting your work published in a lit mag. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Happy submitting and reading!

Minaj dons the cover of this month's Vogue magazine, who says of the
rapper, "On the eve of releasing a new album, Nicki Minaj is in a
contemplative mood, thinking about marriage, motherhood, alter egos,
creativity, and confidence." Decked out in seven designer outfits for

Internment camps, prisons, colleges... all have needs for an inside beat. Curt Bloch, a German Jew who hid in a Dutch family's attic for five years during WWII and the holocaust, made a magazine for the two people with whom he hid, his hiding helpers, and potentially more Jews in hiding through the undercover network in the Netherlands. Only recently has the wider world known about these magazines, and a new exhibit featuring each issue will open in Berlin in February, 2024. </p><p>*Update 10 Jan 2024: SFPL Book Arts and Special Collections has acquired Bloch's <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b6137201~S1" target="_blank">Underwater Cabaret</a>! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> __________________________________ </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=9512240541&site=ehost-live" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=9512240541&site=ehost-live" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEignz54xX9Lz1jiYwzFL6EGiEhX-fSuf-j6TZZe8DoNEulrrqPmLshwgQ0jz0Php3V231pNGpC0HDqt1k15olRXuiLK2QMlEod0r-2qQbzR2Gc39dAfEGL8BdDJdhNKfoVylHnkGrerBvhS1ceQmqNZYqnHwzzRSzufW5JuE6-Yy2rAK4e2bLUMeFofKtI/s563/Screenshot%202023-12-19%20155823.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="535" data-original-width="563" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEignz54xX9Lz1jiYwzFL6EGiEhX-fSuf-j6TZZe8DoNEulrrqPmLshwgQ0jz0Php3V231pNGpC0HDqt1k15olRXuiLK2QMlEod0r-2qQbzR2Gc39dAfEGL8BdDJdhNKfoVylHnkGrerBvhS1ceQmqNZYqnHwzzRSzufW5JuE6-Yy2rAK4e2bLUMeFofKtI/s320/Screenshot%202023-12-19%20155823.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=9512240541&site=ehost-live" target="_blank">Shipping Out: On the (Nearly Lethal) Comforts Of A Luxury Cruise</a> </h2><p>Harper's Magazine, January 1996</p><p>David Foster Wallace, the late author of the novel <i>Infinite Jest</i> who has achieved a cult-like following postmortem, wrote this essay for <i>Harper's</i> about a 1995 spring break cruise in the Caribbean that the magazine sent him on. He didn't really want to go, and applied his sharp critical eye to the entire experience. The story was revived recently by the good-news site <a href="https://www.theattic.space/home-page-blogs/2023/1/5/cruisin-with-david-foster-wallace" target="_blank">The Attic</a> and piqued our curiosity for the original essay.

Launched like an alarming takedown of the wellness industry's fake feminism vis-à-vis Wallace's pop culture takedown, Oyler's essay succeeds in using the cruise for unjoyous fodder to the same extent DFW's essay did: rebuke joyousness. To be honest, Oyler's confessional mode about her two boyfriends and their drug usage does more to draw in a reader than her scathing evaluation of Goop's ridiculousness.

Anyone can keep up with the triumphs, challenges, and stories from Ohlone tribes and their members by reading the news. Here are some tips for searching SFPL electronic news sources to stay abreast of the most recent goings-on. </p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Recommended SFPL News Databases <br /></h1><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/easy-search?p=AMNEWS" target="_blank">America's News</a> (Newsbank platform) </h2><p style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/easy-search?p=AMNEWS" target="_blank">Connect to this database (SFPL Library card required)</a> </i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i>This database provides news articles from about 2,200 news outlets across the USA, including traditional print newspapers, news websites, blogs, radio programs, television programs, and other media. <br /></i></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: left;">Pros: Search many news sources at once; Includes many California newspapers up to the most current issues, e.g. San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Tribune, San Jose Mercury News, and Sacramento Bee. <br /></li><li style="text-align: left;">Cons: It does not include current articles from the Los Angeles Times or the New York Times, and it only has San Francisco Examiner content from <span class="nbcore-react-browse__cell--format-text">2008 - 2016 (and only web content at that); it's a little difficult to share lists of results with someone<br /></span></li></ul><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/newsstand?accountid=35117" target="_blank">US Newsstream</a> (ProQuest platform)</h2><p style="text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://www.ezproxy.sfpl.org/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/newsstand?accountid=35117" target="_blank">Connect to this database (SFPL Library card required) </a></i></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i>This database provides news articles from about 1,300 news outlets

You want to be strategic about keywords and other ways to refine your search, and not to use long phrases or questions. Thankfully, these two are pretty similar so you can use the tips below in either one. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Keywords: </h2><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The keywords you pick should represent the concepts you're curious about in the most basic form. Think of one word to describe each concept rather than a long phrase or question. </span> <br /></h4><p>A simple search for <i>Ohlone </i>brings back tens of thousands of results. Try combining two or more keywords, or use specific names. </p><p>For example, try <i>"Muwekma Ohlone,"</i> <i>"Ramaytush Ohlone," </i>or <i>"Tamien Nation"</i> in quotes to find articles mentioning these tribes by name, in the exact order the words appear. </p><p></p>Another example: put<i> Ohlone DNA</i> in the search box to find articles about the recent scientific break through of DNA evidence connecting current members of Muwekma to thousands-year-old remains in their ancestral homeland. You'll have results containing the words <i>Ohlone </i>and <i>DNA </i>anywhere in the record, but not side-by-side as a phrase. It is not necessary to connect the terms with the word <i>and</i>. <br /><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Sorting and filtering results: </h2><p>Check out the left side bar of the result screen in either database. Use the <i>Sort by</i> tool to change the ranking to <i>date (newest)</i> or <i>most recent first</i> to see the most current news. For complex searches using many keywords and other strategies, a relevancy ranking may be more helpful. You can also use the date tool in the left panel to narrow to a specific time period. If the format of the news is important to you, you can use the <i>Source Type</i> tool to limit results to specific formats, for example newspapers or news wires. </p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAhFreprbSsXsoRtXj6sM9OsCwqMsnmlyONFoaiQ0cPmEo-XFo6JOBjbIWrT88AMDHSUvOjmibAAHyZMPm5CbAfrpjnnmAFRBEF5ZcGheWQlmo3D2eFzy-LL_9JaosgjeEHsjepuyscw2qETzFPRQ7GQZhYb-VVTn7uXPtC5YwjJB-FpJsg_FcqGHg44/s746/Screenshot%202023-11-29%20173014.png" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAhFreprbSsXsoRtXj6sM9OsCwqMsnmlyONFoaiQ0cPmEo-XFo6JOBjbIWrT88AMDHSUvOjmibAAHyZMPm5CbAfrpjnnmAFRBEF5ZcGheWQlmo3D2eFzy-LL_9JaosgjeEHsjepuyscw2qETzFPRQ7GQZhYb-VVTn7uXPtC5YwjJB-FpJsg_FcqGHg44/s320/Screenshot%202023-11-29%20173014.png" width="127" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Refinement tools in US Newsstream are located on the left of the result screen</i></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Follow the Ohlone in the news:</h2><p></p>Create an alert from the database to get notified at desired intervals.

We have reached significant milestones in this project, including cleaning and organizing tens of thousands of bound periodicals into Dewey decimal call number order in preparation for their relocation to a new storage facility. </p><p>An exciting component of this project is that the most recent bound volume of any magazine we own will now be stored in the open stacks on the 5th floor of the library. This is called Open Stacks in the Library catalog but behind the scenes we call this Tier 0. For some of these titles, like <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b1837696~S1" target="_blank"><i>The Atlantic</i></a>, the most recent bound volume is for 2022; when we get the 2023 loose issues bound, the 2023 volume will replace the 2022 volume on the shelf. </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisBPC9lUp1htvbb_Mt3sgssvRfeSzKtPFm5oyum02uzRCeDtVIl6zHCZBlx_aRnZWkHf6NhZnpu-9Robk1WtqLNuiJ5DunYv1YqpfEc-ww1bM1yVfnErWycrRH48SvbIaPYq8ei34eUvHj6JJCdEpxJwK-GyVPsCA64NHG_vQCp9uR4gF87rUhlLo7-v8/s962/Screenshot%202023-11-18%20112845.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="43" data-original-width="962" height="18" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisBPC9lUp1htvbb_Mt3sgssvRfeSzKtPFm5oyum02uzRCeDtVIl6zHCZBlx_aRnZWkHf6NhZnpu-9Robk1WtqLNuiJ5DunYv1YqpfEc-ww1bM1yVfnErWycrRH48SvbIaPYq8ei34eUvHj6JJCdEpxJwK-GyVPsCA64NHG_vQCp9uR4gF87rUhlLo7-v8/w400-h18/Screenshot%202023-11-18%20112845.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The library catalog record for The Atlantic indicates the volume containing the 2022 issues is located in the Open Stacks of the 5th floor.</i></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <p></p><p>For other titles<span><span>—</span></span>the historical ones<span><span>—t</span></span>he most recent volume on the shelf will be from some point in the past, and it will stay that way.

Starting publication in the late 19th century, this illustrated British social magazine coming out of London ran through 1958, at which point it ceased publication. To immerse oneself in the volume of the bound 1958 issues is to immerse oneself in a worldview still in the grips of British colonialism and one that is actively coping with letting go of hierarchical social practices like the debutante royal season, which was extinguished in 1958. The only people of color you will see in its pages are those from commonwealth countries like India, Singapore, and Nigeria and they will either be pretty and young or <i>cultured</i> artists in their own right. Yet pet animals like dogs star in regular features with witty captions, and a humor cartoon featuring a Siamese cat named Hei-Yu appears in every issue. In fact, the magazine is known for launching the marketing blitz of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzo_the_Dog" target="_blank">Bonzo the Dog</a> (why not trinkets fashioned after Hei-Yu the cat?) and for launching the career of young mystery writer Agatha Christie, running almost 50 of her short stories from 1923-1924. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPGbZnmE73YkMyPP63qQThhFbvwwg2pSJaXTZDamXDouT5RiLicGVCxsYnQKJyej2o-44X81lGk0FFgq5d9bB1FFw8BHLtHpRQhwuvUTETUHQ2qc_4-AUqdmcGhfCJd_2R9w2Jj3BMz9u0AWibBOOkULZDJVJe4F8KPb5U06cwh_G3Htkw-mtzSdktwo/s1564/IMG_20231118_141701.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1564" data-original-width="1564" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPGbZnmE73YkMyPP63qQThhFbvwwg2pSJaXTZDamXDouT5RiLicGVCxsYnQKJyej2o-44X81lGk0FFgq5d9bB1FFw8BHLtHpRQhwuvUTETUHQ2qc_4-AUqdmcGhfCJd_2R9w2Jj3BMz9u0AWibBOOkULZDJVJe4F8KPb5U06cwh_G3Htkw-mtzSdktwo/w400-h400/IMG_20231118_141701.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Four images of the illustrated Siamese cat humor column "Hei-Yu" by Geoffrey Salter</i></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>There are regular entertainment columns featured in the magazine, and in one such piece from the January 15, 1958 issue we meet a very young Maggie Smith, now of course known as Dame Maggie Smith and still rocking the world of film and theater.

readable - and enriches the contents, with new columns, more space for
in-depth analysis and ever greater attention to what is happening in
Italy and around the world. Naturally without betraying our local
vocation. Indeed, remaining firmly attached to our tradition and our
history. Because our future is in our roots." --Director Claudio Rinaldi [Translated from Italian by Google Translate]<br /></blockquote><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoKyWSoDwXXv1CCmBNQvHTW8wz-DgCc_H8Br_h5WxdS524aLHoBk-PfdOjlqGkiugOrvb7iWBO4_RSO1ZWCkL2IPEtkTlHeD4SYUWJJjSG46Go3y_bdp4i2CzS_7icr3ckY47Aj_FZ5o50yfh8wVJOgR1g0kln70kRk3lQXcLk9hFjcpjYFUvW5RMJ4vs/s960/RinaldiC2021_004.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoKyWSoDwXXv1CCmBNQvHTW8wz-DgCc_H8Br_h5WxdS524aLHoBk-PfdOjlqGkiugOrvb7iWBO4_RSO1ZWCkL2IPEtkTlHeD4SYUWJJjSG46Go3y_bdp4i2CzS_7icr3ckY47Aj_FZ5o50yfh8wVJOgR1g0kln70kRk3lQXcLk9hFjcpjYFUvW5RMJ4vs/w266-h400/RinaldiC2021_004.jpg" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Claudio Rinaldi, director of the Gazzetta di Parma, with Bodoni's type matrices. <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RinaldiC2021_004.jpg">Tobia 1952</a>, <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><blockquote>"It is a project which captures the identifying traits of the

Futuristic music has finally arrived in the “Now” and this cutting-edge magazine offers musicians all the tricks of the trade they’ve been craving for visualizing, creating, developing, and executing their musical genuius.
<br />
<br />Hailing from the UK—England since the first issue was introduced to the world of musicians in 1998, <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b2093830~S1"><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Computer Music</span></a> (‘CM’ is its nickname) “tests the latest computer music products and offers tutorials on the most current software, enabling computer owners to develop their musical interests and expertise.” Each issue includes a DVD-ROM focusing on the current month’s topics. The DVD is a PDF guide offering an “exclusive” library of software, samples, and other materials compiled for “newcomers and rookies” to expose and help them gain basic computer music concepts—allowing them to take their music into another stratosphere.
<br />
<br />Ever wonder how or what actually goes into the making and cutting of a musical soundtrack? How can you transform your music with the processing tricks of the pros? How to get big-bass sound from your sound system--and if changes can be made to create the sound you wish to achieve? Well, look no further. <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">CM</span> magazine’s step-by-step guides and illustrations offer answers to your questions. Readers will be guaranteed professional reviews on pricings, equipment and essentials, new sample packs, and applications and recommendations on the how, who, what, and where on the making of today’s worldly music.
