The Problem With McMaster
Well there are many problems, but i'll just focus on the library issue. Getting access to online journals and articles is the most painful thing about research at this school. I am so tired of broken links. Update your website.  OR pay your bills! Ughhhhh!

Yeah, what are you talking about? I've never had trouble accessing articles - for both sciences and humanities

I too have rarely had a problem - it's the most annoying when you find that perfect article but then "Get it Mac" doesn't work - but even then, it's easy to find the article other places.

For the most part I don't have any troubles, but a few times I've tried getting that perfect article and it won't load or I get a broken link, and then I start to rage.

I've never had any trouble with articles until this year (and I'm in my fifth year). Maybe it's just the topics I've been looking up, but I've found that almost half of the links are broken or the articles have been removed. I don't know if this is Mac's fault or not, but it's frustrating
