Dear Sir/Madam, Approaching for request for article in forum is not at all a healthy practice. We must not encourage professionals to post request for articles in LIS Forum except in a very rare cases. Once they get the required article through somebody they continue that practice without subscribing a particular journal or becoming a member of DELNET or other similar networks. Sometime they make it a habit of sending requests for sending 10 to 15 articles even more than that. Even though some of the articles available freely on the web through central repositories/institutional repositories they won't search and find. They rely somebody for articles. We can add many things but we must ask them to find articles on their own by sending a article request for the original authors of papers or purchasing through online database vendors or becoming partners with ILL service providers. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
