I just discovered the most amazing tool, and I'm sure I must be the slowest college student not to have discovered it until now.

Did you know that if you're a university student, you can request articles to be sent to you electronically? Rutgers libraries has a pretty big collection of electronic periodicals but they usually don't go back far enough. Today, I needed an article from 1971 which was not available electronically. I filled out an ILL request form to have the article delivered to me, and within 3 hours, I received the article in my account scanned in and delivered in PDF format! Do they hire people to run around in the libraries and fill requests like these?

I can't believe I did not discover this until my final semester of college. What an amazing service!

Here's the link so you can try it out for yourself.
