User:Bsoyka/Sources

I can access a very vast list of resources, and I gladly share them with the Wikipedia community, both through my own contributions and by sharing copies of resources by request.

Request process

Please reach out if you're looking for a resource I might be able to access. I promise, I'd love to help!

To smooth out this process, here are a few things you'll need:

• The most information about the source you can provide, typically in the form of a full citation
  • Any identifiers you know, such as DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC
• A specific chapter/section you'd like (I won't provide full books or similar documents for copyright reasons.)
• The name of the article(s) you're working on (I'll generally only share resources for the purpose of contributing to Wikipedia.)
• A valid email address attached to your account (check or update) so I can share your file

What I can access

I seem to have access to most published materials out there in one way or another. Plus, if I can't find something, the library wizards at the U of M probably can.

Here are some resources I explicitly have access to:

University of Minnesota libraries

• All materials in the U of M system (search)
• Interlibrary loans through the Big Ten Academic Alliance
• 900+ databases (list)

The Wikipedia Library

• All resources that don't require an application (list)
• Adam Matthew Digital (primary sources in American/world history)
• E-Yearbook

Hennepin County Library

• All materials in the HCL system (search)
• Interlibrary loans through MNLINK (search)
• 100+ databases (list)

I can access these (and so many more) through one or more of the institutions above:

• Access World News
