School Libraries suck!

So, Lee and I have this assignment due in one of our psych classes. (history and systems......pretty much a research based class.) For this assignment, we have to use the MMY or mental measurements yearbook, it is a book with a bunch of psychological tests in it. except there are like 16 editions all with different stuff in them!!! We have to pick a test and copy it and turn it in. I went through pretty much all 17 editions before I found the one i was looking for, the 16PF. I go to copy it thinking I can either A) pay for it with the pages that are paid for with tuition, or B) use the left over I have on my card after buying books......I have enough to cover two pages at 10 cents a page. for option A)....I have 1275 pages to use by the time I graduate and they will probably add another 200-500 next semester. I have a printer at home so i do use the school one very often. turns out that the paper that has already been paid for can't be used for freaking copies!!! option B.....the copies have to be paid for in correct change only. This is stupid!!!! Why the heck am I paying for these things if they aren't going to let me use them!!!!! argh!!!!
Lee on the other hand can't find the test he is looking for. the school doesn't have some of the MMY's that have been published. also, he found out that other university libraries have posted them in PDF format on their websites........SUU on the other hand has not done this so he doesn't have access to the books that might have his test in them.
Argh.....I'm so glad I'm done in may!!! I'm so sick of the BS on this campus!!! I stayed on this campus for one reason and that was Lee..........I didn't want to leave him. argh!!!!!
