[ILL-L] Chicago Trib - circulating microfiche

[kendall vance]

I have a faculty member who needs to conduct research involving Chicago Trib
articles from the mid to late 70's and is not satisfied with any of the
electronic indexes/finding aids at his disposal. What he really wants is
microfilm, which we do not own for the time period he is interested in.  So
my question, I suppose, is:  does anybody in ILL-land lend (or know of
others who lend) Chicago Trib microfilm from ~1977.  My patron has relied on
the hard-copy index (on microfilm) in the past in conducting his research
and seems to recall an index that covers ~1975-1979.  If indivicual reels
are not available, the index would probably be a good place to start.  I
realize that a whole year of the Trib comprises several reels, and that this
request is far from the norm, but this is what I am being asked about, thus
my query.  The redux here is essentially this:  I have a patron (a history
prof) whose preferences are somewhat old school:  he prefers to sit before
the microfilm reader and browse old newspaper issues in the manner with
which he is familiar, but, we do not have said resource on film.

Any insight that others mith offer will be much appreciated here -- thanks
in advance  for any help . . ..



Thank you,
