Things to Know

• Search results show the article's date, headline, word count, and the first few sentences but to access the full article, it costs $2.95/article.
• The "library card" they speak of is not KCPL's. It is for those wishing to access this electronic archive for a fee.
• Searching is not completely intuitive and uses non-standard commands (it uses + and - for some searches). Look at (Search Help) link under search box for guidance.
• The Features link in the top menu on the homepage has a list of links that one might find useful. Some of these links include the Classifieds, Career Site, Autobeat, Real Estate Gallery, and Celebrations.
• Current postings are behind by one week.
