Jake, did I refer to you as Jim again when I posted before? If so, I apologize. Sooner or later I'll get it right -- or I'll call Jim Jake and even things up. I'll see if he can access World Cat. But I think that's the one the librarians told me only they have access. So yes, if I went to the library and asked, I could probably find a book -- and he could do the same. But UCLA is our ISP -- I'll see if they allow faculty to access it through their online library. If it needs a proxy login I'll have him get one.
