The worst thing to happen to me in 2006 was that my access to an outstanding academic database expired. A friend let me use his account, but it ended with the calendar year. JStor, proquest, Project Muse: all gone. I hadn’t realized how much I relied on that stuff. Blegging for specific articles is useful and appreciated, but you really find the best stuff when you just go fishing for it. That’s all over now. I’ve been hobbled.
