questions about UCB Math Library

<p>I am a high schooler, aiming to get into UCB,UCLA, MIT, or something of the likes, and am wondering how you guys get mathematical journals. i see they are ridiculously expensive, and want to know if there are any other alternative online or cheaper methods...e.g. Mathematical Annals or do I have to wait till I get in college and borrow from their library??</p>

<p>Did you just post this in around ten different forums?</p>

<p>i was just in our math library today reading a math journal. i just waltzed in, sat in for an hour, left and went on with life. why would you want to borrow from the library? just chill out in the library imo</p>

<p>Yes I did, I don’t know which university I am going to, and different colleges have different procedures. Hmmmmm, that may work, would I be able to photocopy specific articles?</p>

<p>I am not a math major, but isn’t it with math journals the same as with the humanities, that is, don’t you just access it all online? If yes, then you can just connect anywhere through VPN of the school library once you are a student (check UCB library website, and look for “connecting off campus”) and have a free access to everything the library subscribes to.</p>

<p>How much would I have to pay? I’d be willing to pay for a hundred, but most of these searches end up being 600 bucks for online edition alone, :P</p>
