Getting copies of articles cited in the lecture notes (and other related or interesting papers, or even property data, for example thermal diffusivity):
- Many of the papers cited in the lecture notes are available in the folders containing the lecture notes themselves.
- You can search for them on-line using your favorite search engine, e.g. Google. Remember, in today’s world search is your friend!
- USC subscribes to many on-line journals. You can access these via http://zb5lh7ed7a.search.serialssolutions.com/Also, you can search for any imaginable author and subject via the ISI web of knowledge: http://www.webofknowledge.com/WOS. But these are paid services that USC subscribes to and so are only available from USC IP addresses. You can access these services from home, however, you need to access these services through USC’s remote access portal: https://libproxy.usc.edu/login
- Finally, if USC does not have a subscription to a journal that you’re looking for, you can ask the USC libraries to find a copy of the article you’re looking for in some other library with which USC has a loan agreement. If they can find the article, they will have the host library scan a copy of it and they will send it to you as a .pdf. I have found this process to be very efficient; they generally get you the article within a couple of days.
