[nabs] trying to do research....what a pain!!!

[Olivia Norman]

I don't have much new advice to offer, only to say that I feel your pain!  During my year long MSW career, doing research and APA formatting were undoubtedly my biggest challenges!  I found my library to be a good resource; my school had an aim account where you could chat with a librarian over IM, which I found really useful at times.
Hang in there, relax, and get plenty of rest!

I have been for the last hour and a half trying to navigate the complicated library page.  I am writing a paper about blindness, diagnosis, psycho-social adjustment, society veiws, rehabilitation implications.....but for the life of me I can't seem to find general data bases like Ebsco or Academic Search Premier....they have to be somewhere!!! I've written an email asking for help from the refference desk...and for now I am just tired and anoyed!!!! anyone else have research issues?
