I’m in Paris this week for the i-expo conference.
It’s been a busy week. I visited the International Herald Tribune library and was impressed with the staff and the amount of work they get done. One of their complaints was the removal of Le Monde from Nexis. I’ve looked and, of course, they’re absolutely correct. Try to select the Frence version of Le Monde and Nexis tells you they don’t have it (so why is it in the source list to begin with?), but no warnings appear when you select simply “Le Monde”. However, searches for anything recent returns no hits. The file stops at the end of February. An exhibitor here at i-expo, CEDROM is the alternative. They carry Le Monde, and other French language newspapers from France, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland, along with a smattering of English language papers from the UK, US, and Canada, in their Europresse product.
