Kevin Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 I hope they now give Google Degrees ... or at least include an asterisk ... That's all you kids are entitled to , now , at best ... Try the library .
Levis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 I do... I can access the uni library's database of journals and complete articles from the website. But our profs usually recommend doing a quick search on Google Scholar or the like to see if an article is available online (or in the library database) before trudging out to find an entire book. This is the age of broadband, you know?
Kevin Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 " Trudging " : well we wouldn't want anyone to do that now , would we ?! That's almost like ... work .
Levis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Why go to the city when you can get everything - sourced and referenced - online? Adobe Reader is your friend Also - thanks to the State Library's electronic databases - no one goes there to search for a book. They check if the books they need are actually there before they go. I'm afraid that's what the world has come to
Levis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Also - the library has none of Mr. Jandt's books, but the electronic databases gave me an article him that is very similar to the one I had in mind
Kevin Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 Oh , wonderful . That beautiful library you showed us is generally empty , then . Why pay tuition fees ?! I guess it gives you more time to play video games , or something , though .
Levis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Why pay tuition fees? I have no idea - I'm perpetually asking the same question. The library is full of students studying - not looking for books as much as making use of their own books (and laptops). Also, it's the State Library - it's free
Levis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Uff, if you're using that logic then obviously nothing is free, duh. Even I know that and I'm a dork.
Kevin Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 Sorry about the logic . What was I thinking ?!
Levis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 I dunno. If "nothing" is free, then word "free" becomes completely superfluous and should immediately be removed from the English language. But since it exists (and even has synonyms) it must imply that some things are free My logic is not very straightforward
Viaene Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Try the Dutch Google Scholar, it works for me
Viaene Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Sammy, what's with the " *insert post-related smileys here* " ?
miamisammy29 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Sammy, what's with the " *insert post-related smileys here* " ? Not really sure. It started off as just a neat looking thing, but it became a habit. It also makes it a lot easier to find my posts when I need to. And now to you: What's up with the bag on the head? I know Belgians aren't the most handsome people in the world. But are they really THAT ugly?
Viaene Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I just don't wanna draw all the attention, I'm a shy Belgian It also makes it a lot easier to find my posts when I need to.
edna Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Hey, my Belgian friends are handsome and cute as can be...
skybluesky Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I just don't wanna draw all the attention, I'm a shy Belgian It also makes it a lot easier to find my posts when I need to. I seem to recall a few of the girls here fawning over your curly red hair
The Seeker Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 What is it with girls and curly hair anyway?
skybluesky Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I'm not so much the curly, but red hair
