Trouble
Linking to Stories?
The Burlington Free Press, Deerfield Valley News, Barton Chronicle, Herald of Randolph
and Journal Opinion only maintain articles for one week on their sites. Although
you will still be able to view article summaries on the Department of Education's
site, direct links to the articles are removed after one week. Contact the papers
directly or check with your local library for copies of older articles. If you have
problems with direct links to articles, use the link to a paper's homepage (following
the article summary) and search for your article directly through its site. |
