Regarding libraries, you don't have to have access to a university library to get copies of papers, etc. The following, from IBRA's www pages (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/ibra/index.html) says it all. _________________________________________________________________ The library at IBRA's headquarters in Cardiff holds a wealth of information on bee related subjects unequalled elsewhere in the world, and it is continually being added to with contributions from many countries. People from all over the world can use the library, though our information search and document delivery services. We can use our computer databases to answer your queries, prepare specific bibliographies or carry out subject searches. Members of IBRA have special privileges: they can borrow books by post, use the library in person, and receive a 50% discount on all library charges. _________________________________________________________________ -- Malcolm Roe Phone : +44 1442 345104 Crosfield Electronics Ltd Fax : +44 1442 343000 Hemel Hempstead, Herts.
