Seek and you shall find...

I have long been a believer that the internet knows everything, you just have to know how to find it. Google tends to help. Wikipedia is also pretty useful at times. However if you're not *quite* sure what you're looking for then the search is made that bit more difficult.

My supervisor advised me to do some reading about aneurysms and other medical things that are related, so that I can get my head round all the concepts. So I asked google and wikipedia about them. At first they told me some new and interesting information that I didn't know before, but then the trail dried up. Wikipedia wasn't as in-depth as I wanted to be. Somehow I had to find out how to get up to the next level.

It's like playing sonic the hedgehog. You know there's a magical level 10. But you're stuck in level one. Only you don't go up a level when you collect gold coins.

For years I've heard about "Athens". Not the one in ancient Greece, but the service for accessing some online journals for free if you're a student. The one in Aber was well advertised, but I never used it. The one here is reasonably well hidden away and I have very little idea about how on earth I should use it. Tonight I was determined though that I would find something useful.

After some searching on the uni library website I found a link to somewhere else where I searched for "aneurysm" and it spat out several reasonably useful articles. They're level 10 articles though and I don't understand all of the big long words.

Tomorrow various online dictionaries will get used in an effort to understand and learn something about aneurysms.
