sorry, i should explain, my gf gave me a pillow cover with that famous woody allen quote a few weeks ago... (god is dead, nietschze is dead, and I'm not feeling very well either)
carry on about racism....

Bolus, I totally use jstor for all of my school projects and essays. I just hate how you can't modify downloaded PDFs. My research is constantly disturbed by this!
*grumbles at people at Jstor who are worried about students who plagiarize.

(Aug 12 07, 07:56)I must say I agree with them. Most people would use it without quoting and given the database - well, all hell would break loose.

Yeah, I was being a bit sarcastic with the last point.
But at the same time, it's really annoying to have to switch back and forth between windows to remember the ideas from the PDF. I suppose I could always print the article, but then I'd be wasting 50 pages.
Anyway, I totally understand why they do it. I just wish there was a more win-win situation for students who don't plagiarize. But there will never be a way to get around this, I'm guessing.

i watched a discussion about this a few months ago - and one of the profs was saying that all good sources should be known in its entirety by a good professor. If he can't discover hidden words from key-authors then credit must be given to the pupil ;)

I can't believe I read that pointless drivel!

Actually, what I mean is: When you download an article from Jstor, you can't copy and paste text. You can't do anything with the text selection tool. Sometimes I'd like to have that option so that I can paste a paragraph into Pages and work with the ideas from there. I delete it after I'm done, of course. It's easier to have it in the same window than to have to switch between windows. Not a huge deal, but it still takes more time.

look, it's useless trying to come up with excuses now. A mended pot does not hold water.
