My problem with Hathitrust is only being able to download one page at 
a time.  Does anyone know what it takes to attain "partner 
institution" status so we could download entire publications at 
once?  It is a whole lot easier to download a big file and extract 20 
pages, than to download 20 individual PDF's and collate them into one 
file...

For goodness' sake, the whole archive of AREA Proceedings is freely 
available at archive.org, whole books at a time:

http://ict.uiuc.edu/railroad/CEE/AREA.php

And Rupert, thank you for your diligence in uncovering all the 
nuggets of golden information that you do!  Certianly, downloading a 
page at a time is infinitely better than not having the information 
available at all!  I just wonder at institutions that artifically 
make people jump through hoops to obtain the information.

Randy
