<2021-03-31T20:05:34.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: hey man, thanks so much for your help. I need a copy of Adeana McNicholl's dissertation, "Celestial seductresses and hungry ghosts : preta narratives in early Indian Buddhism"
<2021-03-31T20:06:02.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: it should be relatively easy to find if you know how to navigate ProQuest (if I understand correctly it should come up with a simple author search) but let me know if you have any trouble. thanks again!
<2021-03-31T20:08:26.000Z> pleasesaybye: yeah ill let you know if i find it
<2021-03-31T20:18:00.000Z> pleasesaybye: im looking for the thing in proquest ebook central but i'm not seeing it, and i don't think my uni has access to proquest proper. im not too sure if i can be helpful here.
<2021-03-31T20:18:42.000Z> pleasesaybye: legit says my account can't be used to log into proquest proper, one would think i'd have access to the two but apparently no, sorry for the trouble.
<2021-03-31T20:19:30.000Z> pleasesaybye: if i find it somehow i'll dm it your way asap
<2021-03-31T20:20:03.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Thanks for trying. For one last try, can you log onto "ProQuest Dissertations and Theses" repository? It's a quasi separate thing
<2021-03-31T20:20:23.000Z> pleasesaybye: i'll see if i have access
<2021-03-31T20:37:05.000Z> pleasesaybye: im not too sure i could actually, i'll keep trying but my university doesnt show up under the institutions i can use to login.
<2021-03-31T20:37:18.000Z> pleasesaybye: so yeah, sorry for that
<2021-03-31T20:37:40.000Z> pleasesaybye: on the other hand, if you ever need anything off of Proquest Ebook Central, you know who to call
<2021-03-31T20:45:19.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: No worries man, thank you so much for trying 
<2021-03-31T21:03:20.000Z> pleasesaybye: hey, so i managed to get into Proquest, but after having it search through every database it had, it couldn't find the celestial seductresses thing you were looking for
<2021-03-31T21:03:44.000Z> pleasesaybye: all i can see is a paper from 2018: Being Buddha, Staying Woke: Racial Formation in Black Buddhist Writing
<2021-03-31T21:09:46.000Z> pleasesaybye: that being said, i think it's up on a stanford hosted website, purl.stanford.edu/gc695hq2680
<2021-03-31T21:10:10.000Z> pleasesaybye: "Access is restricted to Stanford-affiliated patrons until 28-May-2021" so maybe you'd be better off waiting until then
<2021-03-31T22:06:38.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: Yeah in principle dissertations are uploaded to PQ my question is if she had a general embargo separate from the Stanford one
<2021-03-31T22:35:32.000Z> pleasesaybye: if there is one, i don't think i have access to it, so i couldn't tell you if it's gonna be up any earlier than that
<2021-05-14T14:58:27.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: hey man do you by any chance have access to this? big thanks either way
<2021-05-14T14:58:32.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: jstor.org/stable/j.ctvh8r33b
<2021-05-14T15:21:26.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: nevermind got it but thanks anyway!
