Suggestions for a paper?

I usually find enough that are free through that search but even finding jstor and other paying sites leads me to which ones my students should look for in the library.

JSTOR is one of the ones I can get through my school website. It's pretty helpful, but I like the layout and search features for the one I've been using. You know what they say, people hate change...

Actually, I do have a random question for you Kate (or anyone else who might now). Are you familiar with the Illiad program for getting articles that are not immediately available online due to the site "obtaining copyright permission"?

No - this is a great idea. I wonder how it's working. http://www.oclc.org/illiad/
Have you used it?

AngieDoogles · 10-19-2007, 08:56 PM

I used it yesterday for the first time to request a specific article. I was going to ask if they gave it to you online or if it just has a nearby library send it to my library. It gave no instructions on how to find it once it gets to me so I don't know if I'm just supposed to go ask a librarian or what...

I couldn't find any information in their "help" section about delivery methods...

I'll try it later today and see if I can figure it out - I was wondering about the same thing. Did you have to register with your email address?

Nope. All I have to do to access any of the programs on our school's site is enter my ID and password. It's pretty convenient.

So as an update on Illiad, it sends the article or book to your electronically. It looks like it's just been scanned in as a pdf rather than actually typed into a pdf so you can't search for specific words or copy/paste text, but still, you have the article you need in only 3 days! It worked very well!

Thanks Angie. I bookmarked it for later.

I'm going to try it now, to see if a non-student can use it.
