I need to find where I may locate a copy of a book called
--Mosquito Fauna of Japan and Korea by LaCasse. I do not know the first
name of the author.
Any leads will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anita Chapman
[Moderator: Generally, interlibrary loan folks in research libraries
can help out with requests like this. Most of them have access to WorldCAT,
a subscription service from OCLC (http://www.oclc.org/) that can not
only give the first name of the author (Walter), but also tell you
which libraries have a copy (over 30 in the US; ones in the DC area, where
hqda.army.mil is based, include the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress,
the National Library of Medicine, the University of Maryland, and the
Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences.) If you don't
have access to interlibrary loan people, or an institutional WorldCat
subscription, checking the online catalogs of larger libraries can
sometimes be useful too, and is free. - JMO]
