Not my day
This is obviously not my day to do an annotated bibliography.
I desperately want an article from volume 29 number 3 of a journal called Program. It is exactly on point, and better yet, it’s a summary article that could lead to more bibliography.
First of all, may I say that Program is a horrible, horrible journal name, impossible to find in a catalogue because of all the damned conference proceedings that use it as a title? I may say that? Oh, good. I say that. Because I had to wade through a metric ton of junk before I found the OPAC listing for the journal, and I almost missed it.
The SLIS library has bound volumes of the journal for quite a few years, but it is missing 29:3. Okay, okay, so we’ll try for online full-text. Wilson doesn’t have it. Emerald doesn’t have it. Nobody has it. Well, that’s just peachy, that is.
I’ll have to haul my rear over to Memorial to find it. And I will, because unfortunately it is exactly what I need. But as much as I love libraries, sometimes I just hate ’em.
ETA: Whew, that’s done. I did find the Program article, but I gave up on one almost as good because it’s in a journal that changed its name three times and is shelved in three different places, and who needs the tsuris, really? I expect I’m going to get gigged on currency because I don’t have much stuff newer than 2000, but so be it. I did find good stuff.
