Talk:University of California, Riverside: Difference between revisions

:yes, papers prior to about a decade ago were not published online. first of all, how many times will a medical student ever need a paper published before that time? second of all, UCR/UCLA medical students at the UCR campus have access to the UCLA library. In fact, all UC students do via something called MELVYL. If one of the mere 48 students were ever need a paper that's not at the UCR science library hardcopy collection AND not available online (a highly unlikely scenario in the first place), they can place an order online on the library website, the article will be found by librarians at the UCLA library, and then either scanned in and emailed, or a hardcopy sent to the student's address. basically, you'll get the paper by the next business day if you're OK with a scanned copy. I know of several graduate students that have used this system very successively.
