AZ Rep articles - try (this) before you buy!

I've noticed that oftentimes there are Arizona Republic articles out there for free, where if you do an archive search on AZ Rep and it says that you will need to buy the article.
E.g. Did an archive search for it. Then did a Google search for the exact title: New law brings curfew, limits for teen drivers and found this article:
http://www.azcentral.com/specials/special12/articles/0604teendriver0604.html

I have a feeling this is the case for articles that are more recent and/or more popular or "important."

Consumer Reports in Masterfile - no embargo!

Ted discovered that Consumer Reports no longer has a 3-month embargo in Masterfile Premier! Happy day! See for yourself (June). They're also doing something new with graphics on the search results page, as you'll see. It looks like they don't have February or March of this year just yet.

Scanner documentation

See the instructions for our new scanner here. You'll need to click on CanoScan LiDE25/60 Scanning Guide (WIndows) LiDE2560scanningguide-e.exe (under Guides and Manuals) and then download the manual. I'm going to ask Joseph to condense it to one sheet for us.
