== 2018 Tranås Tidning article (swedish website) ==

Hello. I was wondering if anyone access to this [https://www.tranastidning.se/artikel/mats-mixade-lars-winnerbacks-guldplatta Swedish website] so I can verify whether or not [[Dans med svåra steg]] was certified gold. There doesn't seem to be a Swedish version of the Resource Exchange that I can see. Thanks! [[User:MrLinkinPark333|MrLinkinPark333]] ([[User talk:MrLinkinPark333|talk]]) 00:31, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

For [[Hong Kong Japanese School]] - I want to find the Chinese name of the "Ling Ying Building" (where the Japanese school was first located) but Google Books will not allow me to view page 194, which I believe should have the Chinese characters for that.

Thanks, [[User:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] ([[User talk:WhisperToMe|talk]]) 16:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

:{{re|WhisperToMe}} it might refer to [[:zh:嶺英中學]]. Searching ''Ling Ying'' in https://mmis.hkpl.gov.hk/web/guest/old-hk-collection led to me an article ''LING YING SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY'' on ''Hong Kong Daily Press'', 1939-06-02, which said the school had premises in the Lee Gardens (利園), which is exactly Lee family's properties. The zhwiki article says the school was closed in 1970. I guess its premises were used for the Japanese school then.

:You should verify this with better sources or alumni from that period.--[[User:Roy17|Roy17]] ([[User talk:Roy17|talk]]) 17:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

::{{replyto|Roy17}} I'm not in the HK region right now, but I'm checking online sources. [[:zh:香港日本人學校]] already states "1971年（昭和46年）4月12日 - 學生人數増加，要借附近的嶺英校舍，一部（幼稚園部、小學1、2年）到該處上課。同年5月10日，設立香港日本人學校新校舍建設準備委員會。" so that seems to be the right track.

== I found the resource/book on Google Books, but... ==

{{tl|resolved}}

This is the book:

[https://books.google.com/books?id=2U62zAEACAAJ&source Sefer Dinaburg: Qoveṣ divre iyyun u-meḥqar muggaš le-Ben-Ṣiyyon Dinaburg ...] {{oclc|163033281}}

'''BUT...'''

Google Books does not really have any content for this book, i.e. "No Preview available" and not any "Content Search" for it either.

This means, as far as I understand, that Google Books may have the contents scanned sometime in future, but there is no way of knowing when. Could be a number of years.

My local Library's InterLibrary Loan is cancelled also for the time being because of COVID-19. Nobody knows when it may come back...

Does this mean, than until InterLibrary Loan comes back sometime in the future, or until Google Books starts scanning this book somehow sometime in the distant future also, I am '''out of luck''' for it?

Would the electronic wizards here know of a different way maybe that I could possibly get an electronic scan of the article that is on pages 215-236 of this book? (The author of the article in these pages is - Aescoly, Aaron Zeev). Thank you so much for any advice!

[Forgot to state: This is for articles [[Petrus Serrarius]], [[Abraham Pereyra]], [[Spinoza]]. Thanks.]

:I have added the book title and OCLC. --[[User:Gazal world|Gazal world]] ([[User talk:Gazal world|talk]]) 21:10, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

:[[User:warshy|warshy]], all I could do is open the book, scan the chapter, and send you a copy. Is this what you want? Something may have gone lost in translation here but your repeated use of "electronic" is giving me some pause. I do not have electronic access to the work. —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 17:36, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

::[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] Thank you very much! That's exactly what I need! If you can send me (how?) the article by Aescoly on pages 215-236 I would be so grateful! Please. Thank you so much again!

:::[[User:warshy|warshy]], via [[WP:Email|email]]. I'll keep you posted. {{doing}} (probably tomorrow or on Friday), —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 18:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

::::[[User:Pajz|Pajz]], WOW! I couldn't have imagined/dreamt, before I asked, that someone here would somehow have access to the paper/material book itself. I mean, if through Google and WorldCat (and HathiTrust?) a remote user such as myself cannot look at the content of the book, I'd assume you must be yourself somehow inside a big University library somewhere, since I am also assuming this is a rather rare foreign item that someone would not commonly hold in their own private library... Sorry for so many (wrong) assumptions. This is only my second try at this AMAZING resource exchange. I'll know a little better next time. Thanks a lot for all your help with this request!

:[[User:warshy|warshy]], sent. I hope it's the right one, I'm sadly unfamiliar with Hebrew, so I couldn't really verify it. If not, please let me know. —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 12:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

::[[User:Pajz|Pajz]], I've got your email and I downloaded the file with all the right pages I needed scanned. Thank you also for including the book edition pages and the Table of Contents for it. Incredible! Great job. Thank you so much again. I am closing this request.
