This is a brilliant concept. Can we please have as well "Poole's Plus", (AKA Nineteenth Century Masterfile) which has Poole's Index to periodicals, as well as other lists including the Royal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers. These cover the Long C19, approx 1800-1914. Thanks Apwoolrich 18:59, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

It depends on whether Poole's allows for email requests. I can't check because our library doesn't have it. I just checked JSTOR, and unfortunately they don't have an email feature. AxelBoldt 20:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps ths page should be merged with Wikipedia:Research resources, which is also a directory of resources and users who have access to them.--Eloquence* 08:52, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Nah, this page is designed to make many ppl responsible for fullfilling centrally placed requests. That page is just a listing that adds the burden of an additonal layer -- personal contact -- to the request. Lotsofissues 09:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
This process of having a single place to put requests could be added to Wikipedia:Research resources. Research helpers would then contact the listed individuals, if they do not respond directly on the page. If this page grows, it is likely anyway that some of the people who have access to the resources listed will no longer check for requests. So it makes sense to also list, next to the resources, the names of the people who have access to them. But I agree that it also makes sense to have a single place to post queries. Combine the approaches and you get the best of both worlds.--Eloquence* 13:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I like the idea of having a list of resources and the list of requests in the same place, since one does little good without the other. If you're a requestor, it's hard to tell whether a particular database, etc. would do any good for a particular request without actually having access to it. The listing of databases would seem to be most useful for the researchers; if Lotsofissues has access to, say, Poole's and I don't then I ought to know that in case someone emails me directly with a historical article request. Of course, I'm not sure I want to list out all of the hundreds of things my university happens to subscribe to, either... Brassratgirl 00:37, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
