Dr. Osterbur:

Would you please give some examples of the types of resources 
that your faculty have requested but that you have found to be 
unavailable?

Many thanks,

Robert Richards

Joseph,

It is also obvious from your answer that you have never spent
time inside an academic library working behind the circulation or
reference desks.  With regard to information it is often stated
that there is Harvard and there are the "have-nots" but in my
experience there are many things that even Harvard cannot access
simply because we cannot afford the subscription and not all
articles are available via interlibrary loan.

I had not read this FAQ before because I could not find it.
