Newspaper Items
Listed by date, grouped by "school year", which usually means July 1 through June 30 (unless we happen to know the actual dates set by the school district) with the following important exceptions: (1) items that pertain to the election of teachers for the next school year will be listed under that school year, even if the date of the item is before the actual start of that school year; (2) items about summer vacation activities will be listed under the school year just ended, even if the date of the item is in the next school year. Order of elements in citations: name of newspaper (from the masthead, not the digital archive), date of publication, page, column, any other information that might be helpful in finding the item on the page, such as titles, headlines, section headings, etc. Most of the items are untitled. Most titles and headlines are not useful for anything other than providing some help in finding the item on the page, and that is why I have relegated them to the end of the citation.
