You might as well give up trying to get in. The traffic is so heavy the server can't handle it. I've tried 10 times and all I can get to is the home page which takes forever to load because of the traffic. After that, everything else times out. It was nice of NGS to open their site but it was useless to try and access it. I hope others had better luck.

I was a member for a short time and never found anything useful except the library loan program which they did away with. You could have a book or microfiche sent to your home for 30 days etc. Now have to do interlibrary loan. They don't really have any good info online.
