I am looking for LeMessurier and Hills. (1965) Decompression Sickness. A thermodynamic approach arising from a study on Torres Strait diving techniques. Hvalradets Skrifter, Nr. 48, 54–84.

@Pbsouthwood: This is a strong maybe, but I could maybe get access to this book eventually. It's available in the New York Public Library System, and I go down to New York City on occasion for the theatre. I could kill some time in between shows by getting access to this book. I'll check up with you before my next trip and see if you still need it. In the meantime, any other editors with access should feel free to help (especially those studying at Yale, John Hopkins, Duke, U of Chicago, Minnesota, or the UC system, all of which are large universities that have access). ~ RobTalk 13:49, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

@Tolanor: Are you still looking for the two that aren't struck above? If so, I might be able to get my hands on the Newsweek article. My university's library has a physical copy as microfiche, so if I can figure out what microfiche is and how to operate the reader for it, I might be able to get you a copy. ~ RobTalk 14:55, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Yep, I am. I'm not entirely sure though whether it is possible to get a scan of a microfiche - you should ask beforehand. Thanks in any case, --Tolanor (talk) 21:34, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
@Tolanor: It's possible to print out the microfiche image and then scan it on a normal scanner for sure. I think the machines at my library can also email them to you. But I have a tale of absurdity to tell on this one. My university's library has the entire Newsweek collection on microcard, not microfiche, even though it's catalogued as microfiche. The best part is that we don't appear to own a microcard reader. I held the damn thing in my hand and it was of exactly no use to anyone. I'm going to call on Monday when the person in charge of the microfiche collection is in and see if they have any means of reading the thing. This has got to be the single most ridiculous thing my university has done yet. ~ RobTalk 22:14, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

I do not need the entire poem, but only the page on which appears the line "A drappie o' the real McKay," plus any additional pages that may be needed to give the line context (e.g., does "real McKay" refer to a brand of whisky?). I believe this is page 25. This is for real McCoy. John M Baker (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

((resolved)) Thanks for your help @Worldbruce: I might come back to you for further access in the near future (unless this book was just rented, in which case I'll just report here again). Cheers.
@Al Ameer son: It's a library book, rather than something from my personal collection, so it generally would be safest to request it here. I only visit that library once every month or two, and it might already be checked out when I do. If you need a few more pages in the very short term, feel free to ask me directly; I won't be returning the volume for at least another week. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:55, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Australian metrication
I am seeing a useful snippet [10] on page 130 of Metrication, the Australian Experience: Proceedings of the North American-Australian Metric Conference that would help improve Australian standard pallet. The complete paper would be good, but if not, just the full citation so I can cite the snippet properly.
--SpinningSpark 22:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
From the table of contents, p 27 is the start to "Metric Conversion and Standardisation by Mr W l Stewart" -- perhaps the appropriate article? That seems confirmed by a citation "
Stewart, W. I., (1975), Metric Conversion and Standardisation, , Proceedings of the North American - Australian Metric Conference - "Metrication : The Australian Experience"., pp. 27 - 33." in Dr Lloyd J Pilgrim (1999) Metrication: A job to complete?, Australian Surveyor, 44:1, 11-19, DOI: 10.1080/00050326.1999.10441898 To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00050326.1999.10441898.

If anyone has access to The Globe and Mail from before November 1977? The years of 1970–1977 are of particular interest to me. This might take the form of microform, unfortunately, and I don't have an exact date/article I'm looking for. I'm interested in finding any/all information on Marv Allemang while he was at Acadia University (dates are likely 1971–74, but uncertain on this) and playing for the Ottawa Rough Riders (1975–76). Regional papers from Nova Scotia, such as The Chronicle Herald, might also be helpful for the Acadia stuff, as might Ottawa Citizen for the Rough Riders. Please ping me here or message me on my talk page if you have such access, as I think this article might be able to get to GA if such information is found. ~ RobTalk 15:31, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
@BU Rob13: I got some CFL articles from the globe and mail from 1974-1977. However, they aren't from when he was part of Ottawa, but it still might be helpful. Please send me an email. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:28, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! That covers his time with the Rough Riders well. I could still use some stuff from his time with Acadia. That will likely only be available in a local paper such at The Chronicle Herald, if anyone happens to have access. ~ RobTalk 00:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Bitter Dawn
Author: Dan Newling
ISBN: 9781868426249
Publisher: Johnathan Ball
ASIN: B00OYTE3NS
The Murder of Anni Dewani article makes extensive use of Bitter Dawn. The author who's added the refs hasn't targeted them (i.e. no page numbers) and was involved in a vicious content dispute on the article last year (resolved in his favour). I trust him to correctly represent what the book says, but it might be best if someone else confirms that the refs support the statements. Is it possible to get access to the entire book? It has been released in eBook form.[12]

Dear friends from the en-WP, is this Google Book available in full view and downloadable in the United States? In Germany, this is not the case. The book was published in 1912, and the author Paul Hambruch died in 1933. Therefore the copyright has expired not only in the United States, but also in most European countries, and perhaps Worldwide. Perhaps Google overlooked this.
--Ratzer (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Google and HathiTrust both default to a simplistic, safe-for-them approach to copyright, especially for users outside the US. The corresponding HathiTrust record doesn't have a death date for Hambruch, but they will likely be persuaded by the VIAF entry to revise their record. I've just notified them, so we'll see how long they take to respond. LeadSongDogcome howl! 16:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
HathiTrust knows the death year of Paul Hambruch, see here.--Ratzer (talk) 10:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
So he may have two distinct records there, one with just the birth date and another with both. Anyhow, they've replied that the correction is in their work queue; they'll get to it eventually. VIAF and GND show a revision in his authority records just this February, but they do not reveal what that revision was. They have no diff accessible to users. It is likely just a case of needing this to percolate through the copyright administration mill. LeadSongDogcome howl! 17:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Since we don't provide full books here on Resource Exchange, I think your best bet is to ask elsewhere -- on that article's talk page, on the talk pages of the relevant WikiProjects, or elsewhere online.

If you got it really handy, maybe you can send note 54 for chap. 21. But if not, I'll get to it sometime. Thank you. trespassers william (talk) 23:25, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
@Danny lost: I never scanned the notes at all, actually; just the pages themselves, index, and TOC. I still have the book, and I'll run to my library in like 15 minutes and scan the notes for chapter 21. Could you let me know one way or the other whether you wanted any other pages based on the index/table of contents for Devil in Christianity?

I am currently working on the Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year and have found it rather difficult to locate who was nominated for certain years (1981-1984, 1986-1994, 1997, 1999, and 2006). Currently, these sources can be found on the VHS tapes that can be rented in Texas libaries, and were once available through Google's newspaper archive project before it was shut down in 2011. Possible newspapers to have the information could be the San Antonio Express-News (where the awards are annually held) and the Corpus Christi Caller Times. Thanks, – jona✉ 23:28, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
