For Imperial Scout Exhibition & others.

Neither IA nor Google Books have it; even ABE has no copies. There's a copy on eBay, but at a silly price. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:03, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Mabbett: According to WorldCat, Boston University Mugar Memorial Library has a copy. —Bruce1eetalk 12:47, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks; I'm a long way from Boston MA. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
... but hopefully there is someone closer who can help you. —Bruce1eetalk 00:36, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pigsonthewing, I almost put in an ILL request, but then realized that the Boston copy is "Not loanable." (It looks like the British Library has one or two copies, though a loan from there would also be unlikely. OCLC 559550034, 752740531) But the work is cited in a book (n.18) by Tammy M. Proctor (contact info), and another (n.4) by John C. Mitcham (contact info). Admittedly the odds aren't great, but perhaps you could try reaching out to them, and see how they came about it. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pigsonthewing, I see the copy on eBay sold. I don't suppose you were the one who picked it up? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No; like I said, it was a silly price. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, I just figured that sometimes people do silly things. Here's a 2017 article that takes extensively from the book, including a number of photographs. It's written by Marek Popiel, who is the editor-in-chief of the magazine (source). Pigsonthewing, If I were you, I would reach out via the first email on the magazine's contact page; it's a recent article and has clearly digitized part of the Boy Scouts and What They Do book, so he may well have a scanned copy. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pigsonthewing: Requested via ILL because why not, but I'm not optimistic about obtaining it. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:38, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727, Did it work? (t · c) buidhe 02:39, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Buidhe and Pigsonthewing: Late last week, my librarian's archivist contacted Boston University's archivist; although they aren't willing to loan the book, they asked me to fill out a couple of forms requesting permission to access the archive and an electronic scan of the book. I submitted those yesterday morning and now await a response. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 14:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Thank you for going to so much effort. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Needs access to newspaperarchive.com: Specifically for the Jamaica Gleaner

Sorry but my access has expired and I am waiting on it to be reactivated. But I'm in the middle of writing a piece and need some articles, the problem is I am not sure which, because I cannot see them. What I know is that in 1962 Jamaican women did not have individual nationality. I know that they did have individual nationality by 1998. So searching nationality in that time frame, I come up with 3 articles that might help, but I cannot go to an article, only a page. This one says "The child of unmarried parents is entitled to the nationality of his mother, but so of his father" in the snippet, so possibly it is for the article "Are Our Children Equal?", but I am unsure. This one says "Dual citizenship is allowed in respect of certain" in the snippet, so I am guessing "Jamaican Citizenship". And finally This one says a law change is in the making. Can anyone help with these?

For Jamaican nationality law

@SusunW: I've clipped all three articles:
The scanning isn't that great, but you should be able to read them. —Bruce1eetalk 14:44, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much Bruce1ee. I'm going to leave it open for just a bit to read these and see if they answer my questions. SusunW (talk) 15:03, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bruce1ee, haven't found the date yet, but these have great information. Thank you so much. Could you clip two more? This and This? SusunW (talk) 15:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SusunW: I'm not sure which articles you're after on those two pages, but I think it may be this and this. If you need more, just shout. —Bruce1eetalk 15:32, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bruce1ee I truly appreciate your patience. Still not the date I need. Let's try this one. The snippet phrase is "Nationality (Amendment) Act, 1993, the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act, 1993". Looking for a needle within a haystack requires perseverance and help from friends. Thanks! SusunW (talk) 15:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SusunW: Here it is. I don't know if it's got what you're after. If not, I'm happy to keep clipping! —Bruce1eetalk 15:55, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bruce1ee Thank you so very much! I think this is it! None of the other clippings indicate a legal change actually took place, so as this one says the Nationality Amendment passed in 1993 I think I have my date. Now just to see if I can find a version of the law at that point in time to confirm. Totally appreciate all of your help! {{resolved}} SusunW (talk) 15:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My pleasure, glad I could help. —Bruce1eetalk 16:02, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

International Directory of Company Histories, Volume 214

For Cloud9. WorldCat shows that there are many ebooks available, but of course, not from my university or public library. Just looking to get the info of Cloud9. Many thanks!

Update: I was able to find it at the Brooklyn Library, which needed only a (very easily found) library password for Gale. I appreciate anyone who may have taken the time to look into this. Pbrks (talk) 02:49, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
