This is an index of local and regional stories in the London
Free Press (London, Canada).  The index includes birth notices
and obituaries. Editorials and letters to the editor on regional
issues are indexed.  The sports section is not indexed (although
a few sports stories are included).

Entries consist of the headlines of the stories, added keywords,
date and page number.  Bylines are only included for opinion
pieces.

Keywords can be subject terms (Recycling, Development, Crime,
Annexation, Sexual Assault, Music, Police); place names (East
London, Woodstock, Sarnia, St Thomas); corporate names (PUC,
City Council, Orchestra London, Canada Trust); or people's names
(Gosnell, Blackburn, Boyd).

People's names are entered last name, period, first initial.
Thus, Tom Gosnell would be entered: Gosnell.t.  When searching,
just use the last name.

Editorials are identified by the keyword `Editorial' at the end 
of the entry.  Letters are identified by the keyword `Letter'
followed by the name of the letter-writer at the end of the entry.
In other respects, editorials and letters are treated the same
as other articles.

The London Free Press is available on microfilm at UWO's Weldon
library and in other libraries in the region.

Currently the index covers January 1991 to the present.  The
index is updated monthly.  We expect to add entries covering
May 1988 to December 1990.

A microfiche version of the index covers 1978 to the present.
The microfiche is available at UWO's Weldon Library and the
Journalism Resource Centre.

This data is provided by the Graduate School of Journalism at
the University of Western Ontario in cooperation with the
Department of Computing and Communications Services at UWO.
