Hi Metric-Great that you decided to chime in--thanks. You should do it more often.

The meta search utility at the library of my uni is the easiest way to find specific articles, but I realized it recognizes my IP address rather than the IP address at my institution; when I go to retrieve an article, it brings me to the log in screen of the publisher. If I go to retrieve a journal article using, instead, the journal search method, the publisher recognizes my insitution's IP address and I get right to the article. I still found most of them via the latter, but it took a lot longer.

I use the Cisco VPN platform to connect. The library home page of my institution indicates that if you come across this problem, use the 'regular' Cisco VPN rather than the web-based Cisco VPN. I'm already using the 'regular' Cisco VPN. I think maybe I can avoid the problem if I adjust something with the configuration, but don't want to mess it up. I think I configured it correctly, though, since there were detailed instructions by my uni that I followed when I set it up.

I didn't have a chance to check out all of the useful resources you brought up considering I need to maintain my focus on research outside of retrieving psychiatric papers at the moment, but will surely use your advice within the next couple of days. No, I don't use Firefox here at home, but I know a lot of IT people do. Do they offer it for free online? I have Windows XP - Notebook Edition.

Zotero--I wish I knew about it sooner. I have all my citations for a research project I'm working on in Word 2007, but while it does save them and organize them, it does not format them correctly. But hey, there's always another opportunity.

Anyway, thanks again for all the information and very useful advice!

P.S. I can see where your coming from with the math and agree with you that it is very interesting. Math is underrated in this country.

The most difficult math I ever took was pre-calc, hardly an advanced class, but I had so much trouble with the graphs and the class in general. Graphs always give me trouble. Even in economics. I just can't translate concepts into graphs and vice versa. It's the abstractness. Although I never took trig in high school, the trigonometry part didn't seem so difficult. I liked the calc word problems-they, too, offer a lot of insight into how the world works, but am not so good at solving them.
