Concering the statement below there are libraries in DC, and to my knowledge the Smithsonian (the institution that the posters belong to) has a little string of libraries (along w/ other mus.) and if they don't have it they can use this thing called InterLibrary Loan. Also I have lurked in the libraries of Georgetown U and GW (of course you have to jump thru a hoop to get in), then there are libraries in the 'burbs...... But if you can't get access to your own institution's library I really do feel for you. Nancy Pope ([log in to unmask]) wrote: : >>> Patricia Raynor <[log in to unmask]> 10/31/97 08:56am >>> : hello.
