Glad to, Ray. Heck, you can imagine how long I've wanted to pull something
like that together. One of the "joys" of working at an engineering school
is that most of the questions students & faculty ask us revolve around
journals, whether we have them, and where they are. The fun stuff is really
when we can slip out of our engineering librarian hats and into our "stuff
we know and enjoy and like talking about" librarian hats.
