journal access exchanges
The med students have forums where they exchange library logins. Only a few of these have ACS access built-in and the logins don't last that long. I
haven't seen that kind of information exchanged here, except in PM, and I wonder why not. The topic is much on my mind since my primary ACS access
died this weekend.

You said it yourself they don't last long and the wider the spread of the access the shorter the entry lasts......some forums disguise the password
and access so that google doesn't find them and post them such ...if the pasword is "given"......then it's disguised as g*iv*en also the link is
converted to a tinyurl link so it too won't be found by google.....so it's extra work to protect the resources and on a large forum like this and with
so many breaching the access to the reference section the information would not last anymore than by finding a password every few days to the journal
of our liking......yes it's a lot of work....a point to be remembered by those that just repetedly ask for references and never post a stich as to the
information acquired.............solo

The more forums with EZs, the quicker they stop working. And - summa summarum - it turns against users really needing such access. Simple and obvious.
If you cannot find access to ACS (via ez) during 10 minutes and using Google only - you must be blind. It is brutal truth.
