As an ex-librarian I'm often frustrated at not being able to access academic databases but can usually pick things up from sites you mention. I've also had an obscure magazine article (1980s) from scribd.com (single small payment) and have joined academia.edu<br />thanks for useful suggestions<br />Ali B AliBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611113709872287863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-52451494639461626462017-05-09T07:41:58.954+01:002017-05-09T07:41:58.954+01:00Very useful - thank you so much -- especially for ...Very useful - thank you so much -- especially for "forgotten books"julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-44233601244244073852017-05-08T23:37:56.901+01:002017-05-08T23:37:56.901+01:00Thanks, Lynne, really helpful.

Research is so much easier nowadays, and yet I still enjoy having occasionally to go to the university library to look at some old play or text that I know won't be online.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-64358746050370369152017-05-08T14:14:17.279+01:002017-05-08T14:14:17.279+01:00I used www.pantheon.org for researching Druid myth...I used www.pantheon.org for researching Druid myths for my latest novel.

The smell of old books was fantastic.<br /><br />Jan - thanks for that. I'll look into and add to my list.
