the only way to access the free items is to click through via their widget. We have one on our NCGenWeb blog post about the promotion at http://www.ncgenweb.us/gale-national-library-week
ReplyDeleteHi Taneya ... actually you don't have to use their widget. You can directly go to any resource, such as the newspaper access, browse or search and see the results -- I just did that before typing that message.
ReplyDeleteI think they want to promote their widget and so are encouraging that one access that. Though, always happy to give a call-out to the NCGenWeb project!
oh wow! i wish i would have realized that. i had some trouble getting the widget configured right in Wordpress - could have saved me some time :-) thanks Diane!
ReplyDeleteNo problem ... I try to avoid widgets if I can since I am not terribly good with them!
