OK, so how did you do your research in the end? Do you think you missed much because of not being to access certain papers? I mean, it seems that you found a way to access at least that paper, or did you pay for a subscription to a certain journal?

At the time I had access through my university. Since leaving research has become much more time-consuming. My local library doesn't have any subscriptions. If I really need to find something I can take a two hour round-trip to the British Library, although its opening hours align neatly with office hours. In an age where the worlds information is at our fingertips its ridiculous that I have to take time away from work and get on a bus just to do basic research.
