Can I just say I highly dislike research!!! I am in the Arctic Engineering Class through UAA this semester. I have to write a 4 page paper on an Arctic Engineering Topic, I choose Water System Design in Arctic Regions. Easy Peasy.... except the research. I know the information but I need to have 5 references. including 3 journal articles or specialty conference papers, what ever that is. I have one reference, it is a book and I have spent the last 2 hours looking at the UAA library's web page and ASCE's (American Society of Civil Engineers) web page looking for journal articles. I have found a few that might work... except ASCE wants me to pay $30 dollars for the full text! Are you kidding me, I thought that is why I had a membership with you....
I emailed my professor about it so hopefully she can point me in the right direction. Seriously this paper should take like 4 hours total to write, if I could just get the references to include. Ugh... not what I want to be doing on my Sunday off but, I need to get this finished before I leave for vacation.
Update: When Mike went to work I went to the library at UAA. I found 4 articles in three hours and now all I have to do is write the paper. No problem...
