I have this article I need to find

I can see where it would be in the publisher's best
interest to 
add the "brought to you by" message for the
citations.  The IP 
range recognition behind the firewall continues to give the 
impression that many articles retrieved using Google appear
to be 
free.

If those who have financial control decrease allocations to 
libraries because they think so much is free on the internet
how 
will library budgets be impacted? How many subscriptions
will be 
canceled due to a lack of funding?

Subject: I have this article I need to find


So listen, I have this article I need to find. I know the
author's name and the title of the article. How do I find
it.

What's the library response today?

The quickest response is go to google scholar and type in
the
author's name in quotes (or the title in quotes). And click
on
the link you get.

The teaching response is probably much longer, and to be
honest,
with the depth of indexing in google scholar with only a few
major publishers holding out, a teaching response is
probably
going to not do much more than slow the user down, or lose
them
and send them to google rather than try to do it the
"right" way.
Because the teaching response is first you pick a database.
Which
database, well, that depends on what you know about the
article,
the journal it's in, the date of the article. If a
librarian
tries to send me to the library catalog, why should I go
there, I
don't want the JOURNAL, I want the article. If you send me
to a
database, someone has to determine first if the journal with
the
date I want is IN a specific database. And I don't really
NEED to
do that to get to many publisher website articles anymore.
