Update: All issues have been located in a library or a personal collection.  These are News Library News issues that I have located but don’t have on hand yet or have been scanned in and sent to me.

  • Vol. 15, No. 2 (Winter 1993)*
  • Vol. 14, No. 3 (Spring 1992) (This was a special 1992 pre-conference issue)*

  • Vol. 3, No. 3 (Spring 1982) (Have located in a personal collection)

*These issues have been scanned and added to the Web site.
**Note, some library catalogs have: Began with v. 2, no. 3 (Jan. 1980). This is due to a title change.  Here is the title history:

Newspaper Librarians (Issue No. 1, Feb. 1978 and Issue No. 2, May 1978)
Short Takes Bulletin of the Newspaper Division of Special Libraries Association (Vol. 1, No. 1 Summer 1978 to Vol. 2, No. 2 Fall 1979) (Issued quarterly under this title)
News Library News Bulletin of the Newspaper Division of Special Libraries Association (Vol.2, No. 3 Winter 1980 -vol. 13, No. 2 Winter 1991) (Issued quarterly under this title)
News Library News (Vol. 13, No. 3, Spring 1991 to Vol. 32, No. 2 Spring 2010) (Issued quarterly under this title.)

In 2003, the News Division stopped distributing a printed version of News Library News, creating a PDF file for future issues.  The last complete issue was published with Vol. 32, No. 2 Spring 201o.  After that, some postings using NLN column headings were made to a blog in 2010 and 2011.
