OK, so why the 3 links and separate dates?
Long story short, the two most popular daily newspapers in the Honolulu area -- The Honolulu Advertiser and The Honolulu Star-Bulletin -- merged in 2010 to become The Honolulu Star-Advertiser. As such, each newspaper has different coverage dates, and even when the dates overlap, the content and stories vary because they were separate newspapers.
Here's an example: say you're looking for Merrie Monarch results for the past 20 years.
- When you search the current newspaper, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser [bit.ly/PQstar-adv], you would find Merrie Monarch results for this year and the prior 11 years. Remember, though, you're looking for 20 years' worth of festival results...
- So you go to the next newspaper on the list, The Honolulu Advertiser [bit.ly/PQhnladv], and start by locating Merrie Monarch Results for 2009, but then you realize the points breakdown is missing...
- Something tells you to check The Honolulu Star-Bulletin [bit.ly/PQstar-bull], and you're in luck! The Honolulu Star-Bulletin's Merrie Monarch Festival results for 2009 do include the points each hālau was awarded in the hula competition.

Next time you are on campus check out the SHARE SEEDS station near the reference desk. SHARE SEEDS is a project started by Gaye Chan that encourages people to share and save non-GMO seeds. These seeds are free for everyone to use, and every year they will produce more seeds that others can grow and harvest. You can take some seeds and bring seeds back to re-share with others if you wish. We currently have: basil, beans. chile, daikon, dill, green onions, kale, luffa (Chinese okra), papaya, radish, saluyot, soursop, spinach, and tomato. For more info check out Eating in Public.
