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.

You're welcome!

May the winds of the high seas favor you (especially with the 2nd book). I'll try to find it again if I have the time

^ This is why Lemmy is better than the alternatives.

Because there's people on it like any other platform?

because the community is still quite small. Makes interactions more personal which leads to people being less of a dick in my experience.
