Of course, we have microfilm of the Times-Union, which is what most people will ask for. This is just fine, though more often than not, the machines pose a challenge for the new user and they end up frustrated. And nobody wants to get caught by The Boss sitting down and helping said customer!
An alternative resource for this is the Day By Day series. Starting in Dewey 909.82, the 1940s through 1990s are covered, with important events and happenings listed, well, day by day. Not that we should discourage customers from using microfilm, but it's good to have choices too.

The Boss appreciates the reminder that staff shouldn't sit and do the microfilm searching for most of our customers :)
