not to be a fucking nerd but i am a nerd and sci-hub.tw unlocks most papers behind a paywall so you can find papers on topics you have a genuine interest in.
also i highly advocate for emailing the paper author and requesting a copy. usually theyre really excited that you want a copy of it and will graciously give it to you free of charge. source: i reached out to a 1920s historian for my thesis and she gave me a copy of her seminar paper.
absolutely to be a fucking nerd: this is a great post
I don’t want to fail again in my chosen endeavors. Although that recent failure—book writing—taught me valuable lessons personally and professionally. But there are exciting and nervous times ahead, my mother turning a loverly octogenarian this August, among other wonderful things to be grateful for.
Earlier in the evening, I discussed the failed book writing project with my former boss, the learning cocoon of that seeming failure would stir again, hopefully the butterfly out of the chrysalis, in the coming months. Thanks to the opportunity provided by the Rizal Library of Ateneo de Manila University. A proposal for its upcoming 50th anniversary and international library conference got accepted. I am to write a paper and do a presentation. My first academic paper being a non-academic, and my first international conference as speaker. It would be about things I am passionate about: graphic design, history, digital humanities, museum, and of course books and library!
This is a lifeboat across the channel. A great and welcome opportunity. For months I was that shellshocked soldier escaping the war. I soldiered on, heart and neurons—armed for another combat. The best part of the evening was my partner advising me on how to write an engaging academic paper and presentation. We all need lifelines.
