UF's on-line subscription for Molecular and General Genetics only goes back to 1997. And the bound paper articles they have in the libraries are from ( Read more... )

*nods sagely*

Many people often wonder what happened to the 80's...

LOL!! Good point! *thinks back* Hmmm, what DID happen to the 80s......? ;-)

Can you perhaps use this as an excuse not to have to read an antiquated article and read fic instead?

spud66cat June 4 2008, 01:36:55 UTC

LOL, that time would most likely be spent finishing reading the first LOTR book and starting The Time Traveler's Wife, which I got for my B-day.

Though I am waaaaaay behind on fic reading.

But in all seriousness, what this paper found may possibly explain why I could never even get the first step in making mutants in Kp342 to work..possibly. I just saw the reference in a paper and wanted to know the details.

Man, I feel your pain! Nothing is that annoying. :(

I know!! This isn't the first time something like this has happened to me.

And really, why have the articles from the 70s and 90s, but not the 80s? I didn't think the decade was THAT bad, though I was just a kid at the time, so maybe there's something I missed, LOL. ;-)

That really sucks, and happens to me more than I'd like to....count.
I tried looking it up for you, but my Uni's only subscribed for the 1997-2001 one. Go figure!
Maybe one of your profs knows how to get it?
Gooood luck! :)

Yeah, this seems to be a common, very annoying problem.

And thank you for looking! :o) Its seems our universities must have similar subscriptions. Hopefully, I'll be able to track it down some how.

Hopefully you found the missing article :)

spud66cat June 10 2008, 04:02:22 UTC

Heh. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten it yet. It got pushed to the back burner while I decide whether the information I might get from the actual article will be worth the effort of tracking it down. Cause I always hate it when I go to a lot of trouble to get an article I think will be useful, only to discover there is not much there that I didn't already know from the abstract.

Oh, and cool icon! :o)
