5.7 Can I post here if my library doesn't have the specified reference? (sci.chem)

No. Once again the onus is on you to obtain the texts. We have tried to
ensure that there are several choices to help minimise the problem. The
advantage of expending effort to obtain the reference is that it is likely
to provide a more comprehensive answer, and will enhance your understanding
of the subject. If the reference is obscure, then a carefully-constructed
post requesting the specific information you require is acceptable, but
you should also state that you have tried to obtain the information, and
perhaps suggest email replies if you believe other readers will not be
interested. Chemistry teachers and other chemistry professionals may also
have their personal copies of some of the reference texts, and may permit
you to use their copy, if asked politely.
