Research troubles
The process of doing research at the University of Haifa is much more difficult and costly than this pampered Williams graduate would have imagined. To begin with, the library is only open until 7:45pm Sun-Thurs, until 1:00pm on Friday, and not at all on Saturday. Printer function/availabilty is unreliable, and you have to pay to print! The University library doesn't have an extensive collection of medical journals, which means I'll have to use the InterLibrary Loan system a lot (as in the states, the InterLibrary Loan system enables you to access journal articles and books that your home library doesn't have in its physical or online collection). To my shock, I discovered that you have to pay for each ILL request!! At Williams I was accustomed to accessing nearly anything ever printed, almost immediately, for free. Clearly I'm not at Williams anymore (but then again, I'm not paying Williams tuition either).
