I never got my Barbie Dream House but I did have the Millennium Falcon.

That's good to know Shir -- part of why i asked her for the citations -- to see if I could find different ways to accss them -- or even find other articles .

Beth, she should not have to pay for anything for a paper. Jstor will have lots from that era; if she needs newspapers, the NYTimes is online all the way back for free. And, of course, her library may have print journals and newspapers on microfilm if she has citations. Suggest she contact her college librarian about their online subscriptions; they usually have an instant message help service.

I just need to vent somewhere where Mom won't read. I sent out an email about Thanksgiving asking everyone who was coming to edit and forward to the group. D points out that that's kind of a lot to ask so I shouldn't be surprised everyone replied to me with separate emails. Mom was bugging me to send out another email listing everyone's contributions which I finally did yesterday. This morning she sent me three separate emails of things to add. sigh. Thank-you. I feel better now.

beth, she should be able to get the articles for free via her university databases. Jstor will be her best friend as it's both a database and an archive of old journal articles. For articles she finds that aren't scanned into Jstor, she should be able to find past volumes of academic journals in her uni library.

supposedly , she was looking through her library databases -- but she is at the local CC right now, which may be part of the problem. Her professor was not much help ( pay for them if they don't cost to much ) . You guys have all ready been much more help .

Yeah, worst case she goes to the actual library at school and photocopies, no?

The library at the Community College is - well not much better funded than the local high school libraries. i did just talk to her. She didn't know jstor -- and I did tell her what I had suspected and everyone here confirmed - that she need to physically go to some of the local university libraries. Many of the public libraries don' have much in the way of bound periodicals, or fiche , or film anymore.

I can't find the awesome apple cranberry chutney recipe I used last year.

Sigh, again. Much more petty sigh than the sex-segregated lines, and yet...

I'll have to come out as a settler tomorrow, registering into my work properly. In front of people and a boss that I'm not sure how well they'll accept it, even with my (somewhat-valid) reasons. I just hate being so self conscious and feeling so guilty about it. I know it's the least of the problems of settlements, and yet... Arrg.
