    We have the community college (where I am going right now), Willamette University (I think a law school), and the public library. Those are the libraries that I know of in town but within a half hour drive are western oregon university, oregon state university, and within an hour drive there is also portland state, portland cc, and UofO is an hour and a half. Also there is Linfield, George Fox (a christian college so it might have jacobiteism information), Corban College (also christian), all of these are probably a half hour away or less.

    So I do have access to universities but I may want to call first to save myself a day's worth of travel only to find out that one of them has anything relevent.

    Good Lad! See if any of the universities have an online catalog, but calling the reference desk isn't a bad move either! Check with your community college library and see if they participate in a lending agreement where you, as a student, may borrow books from other universities; here in Missouri we have such an agreement, and one of our students at the community college where I work as a librarian can request a book online from any of 60+ academic and public libraries in the state and have it in their hands in about a week!

    Unfortunately I somewhat screwed myself with this speech by not bringing myself to work on it earlier. My speech is wednsday. I will talk to teh teacher and see if I can get it moved later due to the local inavailability of books. I found 4 books at osu in corvalis (half hour away) and am looking now at a "Pacific Northwest academic libraries into a single unified database". I am still limited by my travel time in one day as a couple of books you guys mentioned are in washington and it seems nowhere else. I will check a couple of the private schools.

    OSU has an open library for in house use and it appears so does WOU. But I am still at four books/microfiche I can easily get three websites and I think two articles through EBSCO. So that is nine out of a MINIMUM of ten. I can probably find another EBSCO source and I will likely find more at OSU. I think I will skip my math class (I am doing well enough in it) tomorrow and spend the day at osu doing research then that evening making my powerpoint and outline.

    PS: I am not wasting time posting when I should be researching since this time outlining is as much for me to see where I am as it is to chat.
