Comments from UIUCI need fast and unfettered access to
electronic copies of peer-reviewed journal articles.I use the pdf
book resources available through the library. This has helped not
only my work but has increased my ability to pursue other
scientific interest or enrich class content.More and more journal
articles are available online, an enormous source of time
efficiency.

Comments from the UK:As someone who travels around the country
with my job, it's the wide range of e-journals that are amazing.
Putting those together with search facilities such as Embase and
Science Direct opens up a library wherever I am.Never visit the
library these days. I do all my searching on-line. Time to divert
library resources.
