My original message was scrubbed, here it is again (see previous message for
the attachment, called library help):

Hi. I'm a second year student at Naropa that happens to love doing lit
searches. I discover so many alternative articles and books serendipitously
and only by doing the detective work myself. I can also appreciate the fact
that some people:

1) do not really know how to do this and so I definitely agree that, as
friendly colleagues, we should encourage and help others learn this skill.
In this spirit...I'm a TA for an undergraduate psych class; we recently went
to the CU library for a "research" day. I created a library help document
for the students and I've attached it. Maybe this can serve as a template
that is attached along with reference information? (Feel free to edit it).
This way, we're providing both the original information requested AND the
skill to assist with future needs

2) may know the skill of lit review but not have access as others have
mentioned. Most large universities do offer borrowing privileges to the
public for a small fee. I'm not sure what else to suggest!!?? Consider it an
investment to self and the profession and write it off come tax time??
