Thread Name: Accessing JSTOR site - free??
Subject: RE: Accessing JSTOR site
Heck, we don't subscribe to JSTOR. Too expensive for us, and the University about a mile away does subscribe.

Try asking a librarian for what you want. You'd be surprised. Might even find it right there in the library.

I get a real giggle over Google planning to digitize all those libraries. Even IF they can get around the copyright issues, it's going to take a long, long time. A very long, long time. And after that is the indexing.... Try this: go down to your local library (academic or pubic, doesn't matter) and do a keyword catalog search on the word "war". If you want to get fancy, do a Boolean search on "war AND ____". You can do this with either title or subject.

Note how many citations you get.... Now try it with words like "history" "music" "American" "British" and so on.

Yup, that indexing is gonna take a REAL long time.
