Those of you who assign research papers: What do you do if you are at an
institution that has a poor library, which causes students to have
difficulty finding sources? Interlibrary loan services typically take too
long if a paper is to be completed during the same semester it is assigned.
Some possible solutions are: a) allow the use of secondary sources or b)
allow students to cite papers after calling up the abstracts on Psychinfo
(without seeing the paper itself). I don't want to teach students that this
is an appropriate way to do research. How have others dealt with this
problem?
