Okay, so I am having an annoyingly ironic problem. I'm doing this incredibly short research paper, and I can't fucking find the sources I need. I need general information about database management systems, but from some kind of library science perspective. Journal articles aren't going to mention basic stuff, and database books are all too high-level too; the best sources I have right now are computer science books, but they don't talk about library stuff.

The fact that I suck at research means that I'm pretty much guaranteed to be a shitty/useless librarian. If any of you actual students out there can find something of use, let me know. I'm freaking out way too much about this dumb paper.

My streak of bizarre good luck continues!

1. Find copy of Final Fantasy VII for $4 at Half-Price Books
2. Ebay
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!

Someone bought my game for $85. Now I totally have a game budget! Good thing, too, because there is, of course, a lot of excellent stuff coming out. Okami, for example, and Yakuza. Who knows. I'm not buying anything yet, but I can totally look!

I can't believe FF7 is in such high demand. Shouldn't there be millions of copies floating around? It's one of the highest-selling games of all time. I guess a bunch of people saw Advent Children and got inflicted with the status ailment "FF7 Fever"? People who might have been too young for RPGs back in 1997? Oh well, not my problem!
