| AVAILABILITY: All back issues of this published quarterly index are still available. Issues are sold on a "service basis" depending on the library book budget. Publication was suspended with the Oct-Dec 1975 issue (vol. 6 #2). A more limited version of the index was being considered. |
| SCOPE OF INDEX: A selective index covering state, regional and local news in California and national news only as it relates directly to California. Excluded from coverage are minor crime, transitory local stories, society news, recipes and sports. The primary news sources in the index are the LOS ANGELES TIMES and the SACRAMENTO BEE. Within the scope of coverage, all significant state and regional news as well as selected local items are indexed from both of these papers. The San Francisco newspapers are indexed for San Francisco Bay Area news, as well as feature articles, opinion and other news on state affairs which is not duplicated in the two key papers. The San Diego and San Jose newspapers provide supplementary regional materials as well as selected references on state affairs. In addition to these six newspapers, the California News Index also provided coverage of seven California magazines (Cry California; California Journal; Los Angeles Magazine; Sunset; San Diego Magazine; San Francisco Magazine; and Westways). |
| FORMAT OF INDEX: Printed 8½x11 inch pages, with three columns per page. Both subject and personal names are in one alphabetical list. Most personal name headings refer the user to a subject heading where the article entry will actually be found. Only very prominent persons will have entries listed under their own name. Each entry consists of the title, headline or brief annotation. The Citation gives the day, month, periodical code, section, page and column as appropriate. The entries are arranged in chronological order under each subject heading. There are special codes for editorials (EDIT), advertisements (ADVT), letters to the editor (LTR)...etc. NOTE: Earlier editions of this index featured a different arrangement than a single alphabetical order. It was divided into three sections: SUBJECT INDEX, NAME INDEX, and GEOGRAPHIC INDEX. In addition, the subject section was divided into 55 broad topical areas with a separate cross reference list to guide the user to the correct topic. |
| SIZE OF INDEX: Estimate 5000 to 6000 entries per quarter. |
