Rod, If you enter directly through Proquest as you suggest,
how can you input your Athens username and password in
order to access full-text articles?
If your terminal has previously been logged into Athens
during your current session it works okay from the Proquest
page, but I cannot see how it will work otherwise.

"We trained hard, but it seemed that everytime we were
beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.
I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new
situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method
it can be for creating the illusion of progress while
producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization".
Petronius Arbiter (27-66 AD)
