[edit] Nice idea

I like the idea. It will sure prove helpful! → JARED ^(t)  21:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. :) I've been getting frustrated with a complete lack of access to many mainstream journals. I just wish I had more to offer. ---J.S ^(T/C) 21:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I'd suggest you somehow merge with these already established projects:

• Wikipedia:Newspapers and magazines request service
• Wikipedia:Research resources

So as not to duplicate efforts. (The 1st is linked at the bottom of Wikipedia:Community Portal#Editing, the 2nd is linked from the 1st's "See also" section. Not very visible I'll admit, but that's how I knew of them ;) —Quiddity 22:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I was afrade that this would happen... something redundent! I'll leave a soft-redirect under the newspaper section to Newspapers and magazines request service... but Wikipedia:Research resources looks to be fairly dead at the moment. Still a huge useful information. I'll certainly cross-link to both projects, and see if I can carve out a niche for this one. :) ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

You'll likely get more assistance from others if you revive the Wikipedia:Research resources project instead of trying to replace it with this one, as dozens of people will have it watchlisted, and will join in if they see frequent activity. It's always better to merge, than to fork, if possible. Anyway, I'll leave up to you :) —Quiddity 23:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Ummm your probably right. I'll try to think of a way to merge/revive. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

yes, please revive Wikipedia:Research resources if you can! It's a good project, and there's probably new people now who want to participate. Quiddity's right, if some of us see activity over there, we'll pitch in :) Good luck no matter which route you take! -- phoebe 01:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

There is also Wikipedia:Library, another 'to merge' similar idea.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  02:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
