What colleges and Universities in the Niagara Falls, N.Y.-Buffalo, N.Y.
area have the Annual Reviews of Ecology and Systematics? I don't think
that my campus library at the State University of New York College at
Buffalo has that periodical...Why...I don't know...Also, I'm completely
dependent on the public transportation to get these colleges and Universities...
...the State University of New York at Buffalo (a completely separate college
from my college) Amherst, N.Y. campus (where the Science and Engineering
Library is located) is rather inaccesible by bus.
Can someone who may know, tell me where in this immediate area I can
find this periodical? If not...well thank you anyway for your help...I
greatly appreciate it...And I WILL need all the GOOD LUCK I can get...

I feel fairly sure they DO have it, but it's a rather unusual
"periodical" because it is an ANNUAL. It is hardbound, and your
library might well have put it in the stacks with the ecology
and systematics books, rather than periodicals. Check that out.
And then, if they still don't have it, ask to look at a copy of
"The Union List of Serials"; it will tell you what libraries in
the world (or the U.S. and Canada, if it's the restricted version)
carry particular journals. You have to know the CORRECT abbreviation
for the journal, which in this case is, I think: Ann. Rev. Ecol. Syst.
(Anybody want to correct that?)
The Union List is a critical resource, and every scientist ought
to know how to use one -- I can't count the number of RELEVANT,
but DIFFICULT TO FIND articles that I tracked down using the Union
List and InterLibrary Loan. Ta.
