Yep, I clearly remember being kicked out of the library at closing time on several occasions. Those books they wouldn’t let you take away were the worst. There were no copy machines so hand written notes had to suffice. Sometimes I felt like a monk sequestered in a small dark room copying some dried and crackled parchment. Other times I felt like an automaton unable to form an independent thought. I worked at a school bus factory a full 40 hours a week during my entire collegiate exposure, which included summer sessions. There are entire years that felt like doing hard time at a forced labor camp.
I had to walk 10 miles in hip deep snow uphill both directions just to get to the library.
I agree that the citations provided in support of wiki articles are where the meat lies. I wonder why our new friend hasn’t used some, indeed any, of those scholarly references? Is it intellectual laziness, or something else?
