I don't suppose anyone out there is part of a Uni or other library/whatever that has online access to the journal Studies in French Cinema, at all?

Or to issues of Sight and Sound from the year 2000? Or wants to toddle down to Shaffer Library at Sydney Uni and copy, scan, and email an article from it for me, as the databases I can access online through Usyd only go from 1939-1990 and 2004-present (Why those fourteen years are bloody skipped I have no idea, but they have been, and it's really inconvienient).
ETA: Ah ha! The Sight and Sound thing is online, the library website is just labelled wrong! Okay, never mind about that, then.


It's quite hard to write a research essay when you can't get to any sources, I'm finding. Possibly I should think about changing questions.

Ooooooooh, cool! Thankyou, sir. I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it unil after exam period, but it's useful to know that exists. *investigates*

I've checked, and my uni doesn't seem to have it, I'm afraid :(

OMG. I SO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. THAT HAPPENED TO ME OVER EASTER. I SCREWED EVERYTHING UP BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFO.

Thanks for looking! ♥ I managed to find a few good things in other journals, so it turned out okay, I hope. Ended up going a completely different direction to what my lecturer had in mind, though, which, erm.


YES, YES, ISN'T IT AWFUL? AND YOU ONLY FIND OUT YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WHEN IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING AND THEN YOU GET ALL PANICED AND AS;FJALDKS WHY DO THEY DO THAT? Assign questions that are impossible to research?? WHY?

What's worse is when the sources are in books, and the library only has like one copy. Or, worse again - as happened to me in first year Art History - when all the resources are mysteriously in GERMAN. That makes things hard. Sydney uni has stacks of shelves full of German literature on classical Greek art. Because, apparently, there is an ubundance of German speaking art history students here and no German-to-English translators. I don't even. I mean. What is the possible reasoning for that?
