Re: [LM_NET] Old National Geographics

[gary price <gary@RESOURCESHELF.COM>]

On a somewhat related note...
Happy to report that the National Geographic Publications Index is
back online.

It's a bibliographic database with indexing for ALL NG publications
back to 1888.
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/publications/explore.html

You can search all publications or limit to a specific publication by
following the instructions on this page.
