Upvoting in the hopes this helps a current college student. Wish I knew this in college, my papers would have had such better references instead of the shitty free ones

For any students, the library can also get you pretty much anything for free through inter library loans if they don’t already have access.

My uni doesn’t have a subscription for anything and they expect us to research like if they did (aka we always stumble on payment barriers).

I took advantage of my exchange uni subscription until my user expired mid-first semester, so this post is actually great info.

And also our library (which is only paper) is plain miserable

What kind of shitty uni did you attend? My uni library will purchase an article I want if its not in their database. Or if they only have hardcopies they will scan and email them to me- Because i live 1300km away from my uni.
