The Joy of Reading...peer reviewed articles

AAAH! The 'Tech Trek'...the continuing unexplored arena in my world. One would assume reading is meant for leisure, but in the world of a student, reading is like, well, never ending knowledge crammed into one's brain hoping it finds a place to fit and be remembered later on for that project or paper. Learning about new and innovative ways that have been around for years now, yet are still left to be discovered by yours truly is scary yet enjoyable. New discoveries unfold each time an article is researched and OMG! not found when pressing the "find it" button! What to do next. Time is of essence. Do I go to another article, or follow the process, which typically leads to the ILL (Inter Library Loan)? If waiting a few days is not of utter despair, then the final receipt of the long awaited article is worth the effort. Fortunately, there are professors who provide a URL to a particular article and simply say, or write, "read it" in some other way or form.
