Yong Peng,

Thanks for being such a conscientious Bodhisattva. I had access to countless
journals when I was in Berkeley, but it's very difficult to get them in Singapore.
They are valuable because, unlike books which are dated by the time they appear,
journals articles are as current as you can get the printed word. They also present
the most controversial and cutting-edge views of your subject of interest. And they
are also very expensive.

They are also tedious, as you have to rummage through the index (if there is one) to
look for things of interest. Otherwise, it's from page to page, cover to cover.

JIABS was at one time edited by my sponsoring professor, Prof. Lewis Lancaster in
Berkeley.

I remember coming across a company or website that provides connections to all the
websites. Probably the NUS Library people know this.

Thanks again.

P.
