But at least they...Yes, you are absolutely correct. But at least they have an option to purchase articles. Some of the academically oriented websites only allow access through a university or college account. It is also a good idea to always do a general Google search for anything you find is subject to a charge. There is always the possibility that another website has the same item for free.

It's mostly large university libraries that offer this database it patrons because of the cost. One isn't likely to find it in a public library of any size or a smaller college library. Lacking access through a library means paying per article or journal issue.<br /><br />In addition to genealogy, I also study the history of embroidery, with a special interest in schoolgirl samplers. I decided to search for an article on this topic that I might like to read. And, indeed, one popped up in Volume 21, issue #3, 2016 of the Journal of Victorian Culture. I can purchase 30 days of access to the issue for $137.00 or 24 hours of access to the article for $42.00. Plus applicable sales tax. <br /><br />My search returned citations to 2,716 articles. When I applied the "open access" filter to the search results, 47 articles remained.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739445169694434128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-50734165007725922932017-01-02T15:12:08.569-07:002017-01-02T15:12:08.569-07:00Oops, yes, exactly.

Have you added in every record hint generated by every one of these programs?"<br /><br />Sorry but if you do you may as well throw your tree in the bin as it is not worth pretending that it is at all credible.<br /><br />I assume you meant to write have you evaluated or have you checked every record hint generated by every one of these programs?<br /><br />To blindly add such hints is as worthwhile as adding every instances of the relevant surname in the phone book (or online database).<br /><br />Cheers<br />Guy<br />Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661609230878792638noreply@blogger.com
