How to Get Paleontology PDFs [was RE: Pdfs of JVP]

[Andy Farke <andyfarke@hotmail.com>]

Michael (and other DML'ers),

As a practice of first resort, I would suggest writing the authors to get a 
PDF. I can assure you that it is quite flattering for most authors to get these 
sorts of requests (and I certainly know that folks like Josh Matthews would be 
thrilled to provide a PDF)! Or, if you anticipate a continuing interest in 
JVP's articles, join the society. It's really not that expensive for even an 
associate membership ($50/year), and this provides access to *all* digital 
archives of the journal! Plus, you get the satisfaction of helping out with a 
great cause.

The issue of finding scientific papers has also been covered on my blog (The 
Open Source Paleontologist):

as well as Dave Hone's blog (Dave Hone's Archosaur Musings):

This is not intended to target you in particular, but as a gentle suggestion 
for the list in general.

Andy
