I disagree.  Article references are the heart and soul of
self-education.

That's why they are at the library.  (Of course, you need access
to a university library.  If you're really out in the sticks, that could be
difficult.)

But most of the time it's too much work to rewrite and encapsulate
all the info in a good article.
As a student, I had to dig up and xerox hundreds of papers.  It was
a pain, but now I have a very nice (and thick) file of everything about
anything I needed to know.  If you need the information badly enough to
ask someone else to type it up for you, then you need it badly enough to
struggle over to the library and look it up...  (this is your advisor
talking  :-).
