==== Nurse Specialties Median Annual Income ====

Looking for Nurse Median Annual income by nurse specialty. The Bureau of Labor Statistics lumps all the specialties together. I want to isolate each nurse specialty and report the median annual income for each specialty (i.e. Surgery, Pediatrics, Home Health Care, etc.). I was told that my original source was invalid. The specialties may be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_specialties.[[User:Sjt003|Sjt003]] ([[User talk:Sjt003|talk]]) 15:53, 1 November 2013 (UTC)sjt003

::I'm primarily speaking to the U.S. sections and how they would benefit from BLS stats. I understand those figures would not have any bearing on the other, global sections.[[User:Sjt003|Sjt003]] ([[User talk:Sjt003|talk]]) 20:40, 7 November 2013 (UTC)sjt003

==== Getting scans from Hathi Trust ====

Hello,

I would like to get scans from [http://www.hathitrust.org/ Hathi Trust], however downloading whole books is restricted to "Partner institution members". I am specially intersted by all books relalted to [http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/ls?a=srchls;anyall1=all;q1=Gandhi;field1=author;op3=AND;lmt=ft;yop=before;pdate_end=1922 Mahatma Gandhi]. AFAIK these 13 scans of "Young India" are not available elsewhere. If you have access, please help. If not, please spread the word to find some one who has access. Thanks a lot in advance! [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|talk]]) 13:51, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

:Hmmm, Hathitrust has a somewhat restrictive license to those institutions. Is there some reason reading those texts directly from their webpage (vice getting full-volume PDFs) won't suffice? It seems the full text is available that way.

::Several volumes are on http://www.dli.ernet.in/ but you need to use some tricks to download books into a single PDF. [[User:Shyamal|Shyamal]] ([[User talk:Shyamal|talk]]) 16:16, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Yann}} Also check out https://www.saadigitalarchive.org/source/young-india [[User:Shyamal|Shyamal]] ([[User talk:Shyamal|talk]]) 07:36, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

::::Thanks for these links. They are useful. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|talk]]) 10:45, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

::{{ping|LeadSongDog}} The idea is to upload the scans to Commons and to publish the texts in Wikisource. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|talk]]) 14:33, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

:::Browsing the front matter in the online reader, note the copyright claim by the republisher. I don't say it's a legit claim, but that claim is extant. Hathitrust likely will not bother to contest it.

Hi. I'll be very grateful if someone could provide me a pdf of theese books:

*Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, Vol. 12, Mammals I{{done}}

*Walker's Mammals of the World, Volume I, 6th edition{{done}}

*A Gardner, ed. Mammals of South America, Vol. Volume I: Marsupials, Xenarthrans, Shrews, and Bats

Thanks, --[[User:Andresisrael|Andresisrael]] ([[User talk:Andresisrael|talk]]) 16:06, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

:I can provide a specific article or two but not the entire books. [[User:Gamaliel|<font color="DarkGreen">Gamaliel</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Gamaliel|<font color="DarkGreen">talk</font>]])</small> 04:02, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

:: Ok, I need the ones about ''Dromiciops gliroides'' (monito del monte). --[[User:Andresisrael|Andresisrael]] ([[User talk:Andresisrael|talk]]) 04:08, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

:::[https://www.dropbox.com/s/pfq77nddvt86j89/Microbiotheria__Monitos_del_Mo.pdf Grzimek's]. I don't have access to Walker and I'm having technical difficulty with Gardner, but I'll keep trying.

::::Thanks for Grzimek's. I already got access to Walker's so that only leaves Gardner. --[[User:Andresisrael|Andresisrael]] ([[User talk:Andresisrael|talk]]) 04:31, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

:::::I tried again, but something's screwed up with my library's copy of the Gardner ebook. It's cutting off about a third of the page when it turns the article into a pdf. I don't think I'll be able to get it.

==== Richard II: The Art of Kingship ====

Would someone happen to have a copy of this book? ''Richard II: The Art of Kingship'', edited by Anthony Goodman, James Gillespie. I am needing a look at pages 222 and 223. Thanks. --[[User:Kansas Bear|Kansas Bear]] ([[User talk:Kansas Bear|talk]]) 16:42, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Kansas Bear}} This may not be of much help, but I could get a look at page 222 through Amazon's 'Look Inside!' feature. But another user might be near a library with the full book (alas I'm not) '''''[[User:Moswento|Moswento]]''''' ^{[[User talk:Moswento|talky]]} 09:28, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

==== Westergaardites ====

For the article on ''[[Westergaardites]]'' I would like to read:

* Troedsson, G.T. (1937). ''On the Cambro-Ordovician faunas of western Qurugtagh, eastern T'ien-shan''. Geol. Survey China, Palaeont. Sinica (Peiping), new ser. B, no. 2, p. 1·74, pI. 1-10.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Dwergenpaartje|Dwergenpaartje]] ([[User talk:Dwergenpaartje|talk]]) 13:11, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

====Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies 61 (Summer 2011)====

Looking for Hutton, Ronald, 'Medieval Welsh Literature and Pre-Christian Deities', Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies 61 (Summer 2011) 57-86. Thanks. I can be emailed from my talk page. [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 16:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

==== American Classic Screen ====

This one may be a challenge, but the community is awesome, so I am hopeful. ''American Classic Screen'' '''7''' (1): 8 (Jan/Feb 1983). I'm not actually sure the feature / column / article name, or whether it's entirely contained on page 8 or not. Should include commentary by Kevin Brownlow about the restoration of the film recovered from the ''Lusitania'', which I hope to have something to add to ''[[The Carpet from Bagdad]]''. No online link available that I know of, even paywalled. Also unhelpfully, although excerpts from ''American Classic Screen'' were compiled and reprinted in three book volumes ... this wasn't among them. My email is enabled. [[User:Squeamish Ossifrage|Squeamish Ossifrage]] ([[User talk:Squeamish Ossifrage|talk]]) 04:07, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

:Do you (or someone) live near any of [http://www.worldcat.org/title/american-classic-screen/oclc/3334436&referer=brief_results these libraries]? For example, CMU claims to have v.3 (1978/1979)-v.7 (1983). Not all have all issues, but some seem like they might have this.

::I'd be theoretically in range to make a day trip out to KU, but getting the opportunity to make the trip this time of year may be challenging. Worst case, I'll try to arrange that in a couple weeks, but I'm hoping I get lucky here in the meantime.
