Things I Love about a Big University (Part 1)

Online subscriptions.
USal subscribes to thousands of on-line journals (there are 936 that start with "J") with full-text articles. Which is incredible. They also have a citation link service that links citations in an article to the article it cites, which is also amazing.
Here's the link that lists what journals USal subscribes to:

I'm not sure you can see it if your not on the USal network, so don't worry if it doesn't work.
Unfortunately, for some journals (including Science) I need a log-in and password, and I can request that information by e-mailing the library from my USal e-mail account, but I don't have a USal e-mail account (that's what you get for being in the Facultad Cursos Internacionales). I'll have to make some friends with connections.
None-the-less, I still have access to some pretty sweet journals, which is going to make research easier, or more difficult because I'll have more options.
I'll still probably need the one article I don't have access to...

There's always that one cornerstone article you never find until the day before your huge research project is due. Hope you find all the articles you could ever want!
