Need a microfilm from St Pancras, London (British Library)

I need a London resident willing to go to the British Library at St Pancras and scan the microfilm of a 1965 Evening Standard article.

(The article is not available on Newspapers.com; see my previous WP:RX request here [1].)

Relevant details:

  • Evening Standard
  • Title appears to be: "IT'S THE GHOST OF LILLIE LANGTRY - AS QUEER THINGS HAPPEN IN HER OLD HOME".
  • Date of the article is April 2, 1965.
  • One exact quote I've seen attributed several times to it is "Langtry's ghost appeared one day".

I need a copy of the article in full (it has been excerpted in at least one book and a few news articles), which is why I need the microfilm. I also need the page number.

Article being improved: Lillie Langtry

My email address is softlavenderwiki@gmail.com

@Luwanglinux: Why that page range? The matches are on pp. 45 and 46, and carefully searching Google Books ([2], [3]) and elsewhere ([4]) shows that the containing chapter is "Origin, Growth and Fall of the Moirang Principality in South Manipur Valley" by L. Basanti Devi on pp. 45-51. Should I request an interlibrary loan for this chapter, instead?

Probably going to need ILL, sorry.

For Litha Musyimi-Ogana. Note on 1, Google source gives a range of issues: 1070-1162. I found the specific issue and article name here but I have no clue if the page number is the same. Also searching the google source, the issn given in the google book is 0294-6467 (the French version), but worldcat shows other numbers for English. For the 2nd one, I cannot find a version I can access from Mexico. Hathitrust verifies the page number but isn't open access and I can't find it on archive.org either.

BMJ Best Practice

For Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. I realize I have access to the BMJ through the Wikipedia Library bundle but my searches are not turning this up, so it seems it’s not included. Thanks in advance for the hand with this. Innisfree987 (talk) 08:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is all, isn't it? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 14:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh thank you, that’s more than I found. But I think that may just be a preview with more behind a paywall—I’m specifically looking to check language in our entry cited to page 10 of the BMJ reference (here: Myalgic_encephalomyelitis/chronic_fatigue_syndrome#Severity) so I think there must be a much longer version. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can send it over when I'm next at a computer (tomorrow evening). It's a lovely long document. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Albion (R07) - British Carrier Aviation: The Evolution of the Ships and Their Aircraft

  • Friedman, Norman (1988). British Carrier Aviation: The Evolution of the Ships and Their Aircraft. Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press. ISBN 0-87021-054-8.

For HMS Albion (R07). Ideally, the whole chapter for the Hermes/Centaur class carriers (to cross reference with my sources). If that is not possible, pages 262 and 267 would be fine.

Thanks! SpanCan (talk) 04:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SpanCan:
My university doesn't have this, but another public university in the same state does, so I should be able to get this easily through the consortium, whether as a scan of some pages or the full book in print.
From careful searching of Google Books, it looks like those pages are contained in chapter 12 "The Last Carriers" (pp. 245-267), so I've requested a scan of that chapter. If you contact me via Special:EmailUser, I'll send you the PDF once I receive it.
FYI, according to HathiTrust, "Hermes" is mentioned on 100 pages throughout the book, and "Centaur" is mentioned on 16 pages; you should be able to see the list of pages and how many occurences are on each page if you click on the links and then click on the search buttons.
Let me know if you'd like me to request any more scans, or to request the whole book to look through it myself.
BTW, it looks like Internet Archive has various books that cite it and might be useful themselves: https://archive.org/search?query=%22The+Evolution+of+the+Ships+and+Their+Aircraft%22+Hermes+Centaur&sin=TXT

Thanks for the help! Email has been sent.
I don't believe I'll need any more scans, but thanks.
Also, I'll check out those books on Internet Archive. The more sources, the merrier!
Again, thanks a lot!
