Bound Periodicals

[omly]

I spent some quality time today in the bowels of the library, the furthest depths of which is where they hide the science periodicals. Perhaps they are radioactive or something. Perhaps what we really need are old salt minds.

In any event I headed down in good spirits. I was organized. I had all of my call numbers, years, journal titles, volumes, numbers, article titles. The first one tried to lull me into a sense of false security; it was on a nice low shelf. The rest however plotted to all be on the top shelves with out so much as a single step stool in sight. Life is hard. But I persevered and now have all of the articles I went down there to hunt. Success despite the plot of the tall people!

Ok enough library adventure for one day. I have to head back to the health center, pick up a prescription before I can get back to work.

Hmmm... Sucks that you had to actually go to the lib. and copy the journals. Online is best, as far as I'm concerned!! If there is ever anything you can't get online, and it's not too old, be sure and have me check the U. Pittsburgh library online collection. It might save you having to schlep over to the lib.

Our online selection is pretty good in general. I just have been trying to get all the very first articles in my field, which in this case date back to the 70s. This means that they generally were never scanned into the electronic collection but the university does have copies (eventually bound).
