If it's OK to do this, could someone try to find and get this for me. It should be about an 11 page PDF file. AMU does not not have this available in their JSTOR library. Body Form and Locomotion in SharksKeith Stewart Thomson, Dan E. Simanekin American Zoologist, Vol. 17, No. 2, 1977, pages 343-354.
I really do not think that JSTOR allows this kind of thing. They plaster a terms of service on a page when you try to download any article. However, it looks like there are other databases which also carry this article. Take a look here – there may be other ways to access it via AMU's library:http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/content/17/2/343.full.pdf+html
Aeth, thanks. I had one of those already but I just grabbed the other one. And they all cite the one I want. Don't believe AMU has access to Oxford Journals
Have you tried going through EBSCO or ProQuest? AMU has access to both those databases. I would expect EBSCO to have it if either does.
Are you sure? After doing some searching, I finally found the portal to AMU's journal database. Unfortunately, it doesn't list the names of the journals in public, but it does say that it gives access to some 53,000 journals. The article you're looking for has been cited many times, so it may be important enough that you can access it via AMU.http://www.apus.edu/community-scholars/librarians/
I searched all the major databases. It did show the article, but it wasn't available…it just took me to the JSTOR login where I had to pay to view it. I don't think AMU has American Zoologist articles available for students.The thing is over 30 yrs old, I thought stuff like that was more public domain.
For documents/images, they have to have been created before around 1922. There are some other exceptions as well. I believe the owner of the copyright to the movie “It's a Wonderful Life” lost it a few decades ago (somehow), which is why it's now played so often on TV around Christmastime.
Hey Ski, here is another idea. Contact the AMU librarian with the citation data for the article you need. They can usually get it for you. The librarians there are great and if they don't have it they can get it. I abused the heck out of them while doing my thesis, so much that I was on a first name basis with one of them. They get some amazing stuff. They managed to get me digital copies of newspapers rom Berlin, Vienna, and London for specific days in 1866. I guarantee they can get you a 30 year old journal article.

I second this. I just remembered seeing that AMU offers interlibrary loan, and I know that you can request journal articles that way. In fact, it would probably be done pretty quickly, and they'll likely send it in electronic form. It's really easy to do.
I found it!
