The problem is that public libraries (especially local, but even
metropolitan) are woefully deviod of these references. I used to spend
lots of time using the Philadelphia Free Library's card-catalog computers
to no avail. The only place I've been able to find any good papers is in
company libraries, my ACM subscriptions, or occasionally in a university's
library. In short, it's a real pain in the ass to find something which
wasn't mailed to me. * Where should I be looking?! *

ps: Most of the literature I'm looking for is contained in papers already
published by the ACM and the rest in books, so it's not THAT obscure.
