Cohousing-L Mailing List: Difficulty finding directories of magazine articles on cohousing

[Bob Morrison (morrison]

  This is a follow-up to my earlier post on press coverage of cohousing.
  I got the impression that there was very little coverage in magazines partly
because a few months ago I did a search in the Reader's Guide to Periodical
Literature and they didn't even have a topic for "cohousing". I also searched
several other topics, such as "housing", and couldn't find any articles on
cohousing there either.
  I have a suggestion. Would someone on this list who is more of a spokesman
for cohousing than I am be willing to contact the publishers of the Reader's
Guide and suggest that they create a new topic for cohousing? I think having
such a topic would make it much easier for the public to find magazine articles
on cohousing. The Reader's Guide is probably the most widely used directory of
its kind. Almost every public library has a set. Though some members of this
list have access to on-line literature search services, I would not want to
rely on them as the primary means for the public to find magazine articles on
cohousing. 
  Based on several recent posts, it appears that several magazines that are
listed in Reader's Guide have recently had articles about cohousing.
  The next time I visit the local library, I'm planning to see if they have any
on-line literature search services and if so, will see what they can find on
cohousing.
