[Obsessed with people's looks] June 29, 2001
Posted by Library Answer Person in : Uncategorized , add a commentWhy am I so preoccupied with looks (mine and other people’s) and how do I stop living in this obsessive hell?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Sometimes the best way to deal with an obsession is to develop a new one. How about obsessive surfing of the Internet? Too broad a topic, I know, so how about mining the wealth of the Duke libraries! In the process you will be entertained, you will gain untold knowledge, and will discover even more interests. More importantly, you will attain higher wisdom and more mature values. And remember: no one cares what you look like on the Internet!

Posted by Library Answer Person in : Uncategorized , add a commentQuestion or suggestions:
I would like to read the recent issues of journal of portfolio management, which perkins has subscribed already. However, it would be more convienent if I could broswer throught the internet on my PC in my office.
The Journal website http://www.iijpm.com/issue.asp does provide webaccess to subscribers. So if the arrangement can allow us at duke community access the journals on line through their website, it would be great!
Here us what they say:
If you are a current subscriber, but don’t have your online account info,
please call our Customer Service at 212-224-3800 or email us at

please check it out with them and let us know how it goes.
thanks and best regards,
benjamin
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: The good news is we are way ahead of you. We already have electronic access to the journal. If you look it up in the online catalog (always a good way to see what we have, in whatever format), you will see two options; I suggest you try the ProQuest approach.
Happy portfolio management!
