The Craft of Research

This time, Ms. MacDonald contributes to the Lens blog for the the New York Times.

David Montalvo wrote about a Catholic veterans group seeking new members for The Queens Courier.

Kerri MacDonald wrote a piece for “The Local” about a computer glitch that kept Maplewood residents from getting e-mails containing H1N1 vaccination information.

Today’s bonus: A great place to find zip codes for New York City neighborhoods.  Could come in handy when using ReferenceUSA or looking for Census Bureau stats, among other things.

On “The Local” blog for the New York Times, Kerri covered a debate over whether rooming houses should be allowed in South Orange.

Today’s bonus: In the spring, I mentioned that archives of several magazines are being hosted at Google Books.   Now I’ve found a complete list, including Life.

Matt Robinson’s article about the capman of the Bronx found a home in the Daily News.

Kerri MacDonald’s piece about a zoning dispute in Maplewood is featured in The Local’s New Jersey edition.

Keep up the good work!

We have our first class byline of the semester, a Queens Courier story about the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts’ new home.  Congratulations…Canada breaks the ice!
