I'm trying to find an article that appeared in magazine Advocate in 1988. I've contacted the good people there and I will probably have to order a back issue, which is going to cost me. I've also tried all libraries (public and university) in the Netherlands, which came up nada. Does anyone know another way of getting the article? Any ideas where there could be stacks of old Advocates lying around?

It's: "Tales of Hoffman", by Henry Fenwick. In: The Advocate; issue 511, November 8, 1988; pp. 58-60.
(this issue)

(of course I'm hoping someone says "oh, I've saved them all since 1950", but any ideas are good too ;))
 
Try gay and lesbian community centers you may only have to pay for the postage of them mailing you a copy of the article.
 
^ There's apparently an International Gay/Lesbian Information Centre and Archive in Amsterdam, and guess what they have? :D

E-mailing them now.
 
Is the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature available in the Netherlands, or something similar?

Even if it isn't, many public libraries here in the US provide a service whereby, if you can provide the specs on an article they will provide you with a photocopy of the thing, going round and canvassing libraries to see who has it, either as a physical copy of the magazine, or scanned in some form.
 
There is something like that... it's called PiCarta. Mostly for uni libraries. Basically, you can get books or photocopies from magazines from a small fee. There's a lot to be had there. Unfortunately not the Advocate. But I hope that the International Gay/Lesbian Information Centre and Archive is helpful. Fingers crossed!
 
Can you give us a little more information about what's in the article? I started Googling, but I found an Advocate article from 1999 with the same title, which presumably isn't what you want...

Anyone with EBSCOHost access through their school or work should be able to get the full text of the article online. I might swing by my university today with a friend and, if I do, I'll see if I can't copy/paste the article.

My university is connected to EBSCOHost, but the article doesn't show up in the search results? Advocate doesn't even show up...
:confused:

As far as I can tell, it's a profile of playwright William M. Hoffman.
The 1999 article is an awful interview with the same man. Utterly useless, sadly.
 
Oh... Dutch...

Somebody told me, if you hear somebody gasping for air, he's speaking Danish. If it sounds like he's clearing his throat, he's speaking Dutch...
 
And they'd be right. I should know, I'm a native speaker of the coughing-up-a-green-one-language. ;)
 
Isn't The Advocate the magazine of the Jehovah Witnesses? :D
