Cool tahnks for the clarification Shea. Just out of interest what are you

Take care

  Hi James,
  I access JSTOR through my university library using a log-in ID and password. 
I wonder if you are alumni then maybe you could access it through your former 
university. I know you can do that here.

    Hi Shea, 

    Can I ask, are you at Uni or do you have an individual subscription? If so, 
how much do you pay?

    Thanks 
    Take care

      Hi,
      I also use JSTOR  and find it quite user friendly once you learn the way 
of it. I have found over-all that on-line data bases for research purposes are 
extremely helpful.

        Wow good luck with that. What area of Law do you hope to go into?

        By the way, I don't know if you are aware of this, but you might be 
able to access a lot of journal articles from:

        www.jstor.org

        The University should have access to it and if not you can buy an 
individual subscription. I know your message was about a text book, but the 
journal articles from the Law journals on the site might help you and show your 
lecturers that you are willing to research more than the average student.



        Take care

              I wrote to the list before about the Open University and how I 
felt that my needs were not being met as a blind student.  My problems are 
on-going.  I was informed by the Open University that the text book on my 
course could not be provided in alternative format as there were difficulties 
with the publishers and that was the situation and I would have to put up with 
it.  I then decided that I needed to write to the publishers directly and 
received a response from them today.  See below.

              Dear Eleanor & Guide Dog Neela,

              Thank you for your email.

              I have been in contact with the Publishing Department and they 
tell me that there is no problem with you having an electronic version of this 
book.

              We already supply electronic copies to the Open University for 
all student textbooks that they buy from us, so its unusual to hear that they 
cannot provide it to you.

              If the OU cannot give you access then please ask your Course 
Tutor or Librarian to email or write to us requesting this on your behalf. This 
is the usual process with all electronic versions of text books. If you choose 
this option then we will charge you the cover price of the book.

              Kind regards
              Margaret
              Customer Services
              Sweet & Maxwell
