Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

dmonzel,

Have you tried emailing the authors? It’s well known that some folks will gladly respond with a copy of the paper at no charge.

dmonzel,

Welp, I totally misunderstood the question then. Sorry.

dmonzel,

From the article that was posted:

The main new feature is support for I2P, the Invisble Internet Project. It uses a fully encrypted privacy network layer to hide user activity and locations. The network does not use servers. Peers contributed “a portion of their resources” to other network particpants.

The maintainers promise that “non one can see where traffic is coming from, where it is going, or what the contents are” when the Invisible Internet Project is active.

dmonzel,

If you’re in the States, maybe take a peek at Firefox Relay.
