NewTo Me And Mildly ANnoying

Finding things in the Mordechai is really rather irksome. Just saying.

But quite rewarding.

What are you looking for?

I was looking up a reference from a teshuvah that I'm writing about for an exam. The problem was that while it references me to a particular siman, many of them aren't actually marked, so there's a good amount of searching involved, once you get to the right general area.

Oh, I found it, that was fine. It just took some skimming... If there are simanim, they ought to actually be labeled though, no?

Is it on Bar Ilan? I've generally found that searches are the way to go with things that are annoying to locate (and especially things that are hard to locate and tend to come in tiny poorly printed rashi script), but I don't really read stuff in the mordechai so I don't know if that works.

Probably it is, but I don't have Bar-Ilan myself, and the distance-access that I in theory get from school almost never works, while I have the books right here...

If you get a spertus membership for around $50 a year you can access it remotely through them.
