How to get journal articles for free?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

After news on sci-hub as a kind of illegal source for fetching journal articles, here is one more paper listing 5 little known or little used sources. This article briefly explains how sci-hub works. I have tried researchgate, academia, google scholar with good success. I am unable to figure our reddit structure / organisation. Otherwise that may prove to be a good source. Anyone ready to de-mystify Reddit for me?!? https://medium.com/@aarontay/5-alternative-ways-to-get-scholarly-material-9… Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telangana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Affected Library or Affected Society?
by subhayu dan 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Calgary cops have thrown the book at alleged members of a drug trafficking ring, accused of plying their trade outside the main downtown library branch and other public spots in the core. Police have charged 29 people with 128 charges after two separate police operations in the downtown core targeting sales of crystal meth, morphine, and in one of 30 seizures, fentanyl. In response to public complaints, investigators launched their first operation in December, focusing on the 17 Ave. S.W. corridor where dealers were spotted in the shadow of family restaurants along the popular strip. The first phase led to seven arrests, on charges ranging from drugs, to stolen property, to outstanding warrants. Last month, the operation moved to the 7 Ave. corridor, targeting dealers at the Central Library, Olympic Plaza and area restaurants. District 1 Insp. Cliff O’Brien said while the sweep targeted low-level, hand-to-hand dealers, the aim is to make the downtown a more comfortable destination for business people and families. “This is taking place sometimes in broad daylight, in front of families, and in front of people going to work, or going to read a book at the library,” he said. “We also saw a spike in the violence that was taking place in some of these high drug trafficking areas.” Calgary Public Library CEO Bill Ptacek lauded police on the operation he said ensures libraries remain safe gathering places for families. “Calgary’s Central Library is an integral part of Calgary’s downtown,” he said. “Like all of our 18 community libraries, it is designed to offer a safe community place that provides library services for all Calgarians within a respectful environment where lawful, civil behaviour is expected.” The second phase of the drug blitz collared 22 people, who are now facing 81 drug and criminal code charges. More than half of those arrested had been previously known to police, and O’Brien said 13 of those arrested have already been released. So far, investigators have been unable to link the downtown drug dealers to ongoing city-wide violence linked to organized crime. While admitting the arrests may not halt the activity, O’Brien said he hopes it will prompt downtown dwellers to let police know when they see drug deals going down. “I know that other people will eventually come and take their place — we get that,” he said. “What we’re hoping to do is have the public call us when they see suspicious activity. “Hopefully it sends a message to drug traffickers that what they’re doing and the violence and the crime that comes with that is unacceptable.” http://calgaryherald.com/news/crime/calgary-police-drug-blitz-targets-downt… Shubhau Dan Library In Charge Future Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata - 700150 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
