The following comes to me in a memo from the UA library:
Beginning August 21, articles and book chapters from the University of Arizona Libraries print collections will be scanned and delivered to your desktop for free. You will now receive, free, all articles you need whether the UA library own the journal or not.
This is cool, especially for folks like me who are off campus and can’t just waltz to the library to copy an article from Mobilization (one journal to which the UA library doesn’t yet provide electronic access). Now, if they can scan/deliver a chapter that comes in a volume they retrieve via interlibrary loan, that will be even cooler. We’ll see.
Alan, if the library continues to not have Mobilization online into the Fall, give them a shout. The journal just announced that they will give online access to all back issues for $10 (hey, wait, you were at that meeting. nevermind)

Mob. was just a convenient example—I had needed a couple of pieces from it a month or so ago and didn’t have many options. The new cheap access offer is a great deal, though.
