I am trying to get my hands on a couple of research documents:
- Sommerich (2002) Effects of notebook computer configuration and task on user biomechanics, productivity, and comfort
- Lindblad et Al (2004) The effect of using a laptopstation compared to using a standard laptop PC on the cervical spine torque, perceived strain and productivity
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get hold of these without it costing me a fortune? I have tried the Croner subscription and local library.

Local libraries can get most publications through an inter-library loan, from the British Library if they are uncommon - are you sure your library hasn't fobbed you off?
There is a small charge for inter-library loans.

A registered member of the Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors who has access to a university library is likely to be able to access the material much more quickly than through the public library system, without costing anyone 'a fortune'.

Have you tried Google Scholar? A long shot.

I agree with Kate, most libraries can hold of most documents via an inter-library loan service. There is some legislation that means the British Library has to be sent a copy of every book and newspaper (and probably a few other things, my memory isn't too good!) that is published in the UK, so it should have a copy of what you're after.

If you know anyone who is a uni student they should have an "athens" password, that gives them access to a whole load of subscription material for free.
Good luck
