I would be delighted to pay for the references. Collecting >references seems to have become a hobby with me:-) Jean, Being an inveterate collector of references, I am sympathetic. :-) Generally if I'm looking for medical references, I go to the National Library of Medicine for my first stop <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/>. If that yields little or nothing, I go directly to Google <http://www.google.com>. That's usually very helpful for conference proceedings, finding specific researchers, and that sort of thing. In Donna Ramsay's case, I didn't find anything on Medline, but there's a fair amount to gain by googling --- a sample of what's available: <http://www.ibreastfeeding.com/conference/html/outline.html> <http://www.lactation.org.au/nsw/pubs.htm> <http://www.publish.csiro.au/journals/rfd/SRBabstracts/2001/Ab30.pdf> <http://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/products/bbb-sa.pdf> There's a lot more and tapes, articles, and abstracts are available. Since Ms. Ramsay's affiliation is listed, you might also look on the web site for her institution. If there's not a listing of her research, perhaps you might email or call her directly to request an overview. I don't want to volunteer her for the task, but it can't hurt to ask. During the course of my work, I've never encountered a researcher who wasn't happy to detail his or her research. My wildly crammed file cabinets are testimony to their generosity! regards, Julia Julia R.
