Thats it sent - I know how annoying it is when you can't find an article or a book you need.

Best of luck with the assignment

I once cited an article from the 1890s in a science essay... no paper is too old if its relevant.

If you can't find an article - ask your library for an inter-library loan - essentially, they'll find it. Sometimes you'll get it sent from the British Libraray.

The bonus thing is, they'll charge you a flat fee (it was a quid in my day) and give you a photocopied version. With the photocopying charges at 12p a page, it was cheaper to get an interlibrary-loan than photocopy it yourself on long articles.

Nowadays, at my uni at least, inter-library loans are about £15 each :eek:

Plus, they normally just e-mail you a pdf (although I think paper copies are still available if you request the option)

My uni only goes back as far as 1997, I have always been told that anything more than 10 years old is too old to use in my work.

Really? My doctorate was in molecular biology - the original source is always key, not matter how old...

If summarising the literature, then you probably want to stick to the last 5 or 6 years, but otherwise...

OP - try the contacting the author/institute they were at when it was written (or funding council) option. It's rather common - back in my research days we would be happy to send reprints to undergrads and to scientists from "poorer nations" freee of charge.

If you really struggle, you could try the journal itself...

A big thanks to you all! Where would we be without the internet, huh?!

I have now got the article and will be using it for my dissertation. Just got to get on with writing it up now! :eek:
