Your Economic Survival Guide 
"Get Help" ~  from the New Jersey State Library

The New Jersey State Library has launched a new Web site designed to make it easier for residents to connect to state programs, services and agencies that can help them during these tough economic times. 

The site, http://GetHelp.NJLibraries.org, has categories for work, finances, housing, health, and parenting, as well as tools for seniors.  Users will find many useful resources, including help in paying bills, avoiding foreclosure, job assistance and filing for Medicaid.

Read more about the program in this article from the New York Times.

The Historical New York Times

The Historical New York Times provides full images of articles from the first issue of the newspaper in 1851 (then called the New York Daily Times) until three years before the current year.
