Interlibrary loan - we don't buy these books, most of us. Use the 
system where ever you are. IF it is in print, you can get it - just 
maybe not today.
For instance: The Ohio State University Orton Geological Library gets 
3000 geologically related periodicals. Annually. Some publications, 
as you know, come weekly and some come with less frequency, such as 
the publications of all 50 state geological surveys, etc. Some things 
that exceed 100 years in age are in archives but you can get them 
within 24 hours. The rare book room even contains an original copy of 
"De Rey Metallica", amazing. My alumni money goes there - Mrs. Brown 
can tell you what *shelf* the volume that you are looking for is on 
and what color the binding is. They don't pay the woman enough.

Cheers,
Marilyn
