Leitch Alert!

I helped a student today who was looking for the Foreign Relations of the United States. These are shelved upstairs under JX233 .A3 from 1861 or so to the end of the 1970s. Look for a lot of maroon books.

The 1980s volumes are on that new-fangled technology, microfiche. They're on the main level and kept in the small microfiche cabinet at the end of the microfilm drawers closest to the not-so-aptly named "Value Center" where students feed money onto their cards. Some older volumes of this set are online, but not the fiche-y Reagan years, alas. If you scan to your right there is also, a few ranges down, a series from the State Department that looked useful. The title escapes me, but it's blue.

She also was happy to find the volumes of Presidential Papers (upstairs at J80 .A283 and, for two Bushes and Clinton, online).

We may get a few more of these!

The very handy blue books are American Foreign Policy Current Documents, arranged by year and located at JX 1417 .A33. We have from 1950-1990.

Thank you. I was too lazy to go upstairs and check.
