Re: [LIS-Forum] Article Request

I agree with Dr Vyasamoorthy - it is important to first check if an article is available already before shooting off a request on the LIS-Forum To Medical librarians - I would request you to check QMed's website page - http://www.qmed.ngo/full-text-articles/. I have actually put up these details for health professionals. Do note that I mention that they must check with their libraries (they too tend to ask in forums otherwise). There are many methods of getting full text articles and we need to check those first. All the best to everyone!

http://www.indianpediatrics.net/july1998/july-619-628.htm The paper requested by Harsha is at the above URL. I located it in two minutes flat. I keep wondering why young librarians make it a habit of just shooting off an article request to Lis-forum and other fora without doing any homework by themselves first. This is an unhealthy trend. When will they learn to improve their searching skills if they want someone else to work for them?
