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

FYI : this website definitely DOES NOT have a million free TEXTBOOKS and in general books for you all to download
No reason to reblog this
You’re a college student. You’re not rolling in cash, though you wish you were.
So when you’re assigned $100, $200, and sometimes even $400 textbooks, there’s no way you can pay that much.
Try these options instead.
1. Price comparison sites
Websites like SlugbooksandBigWords will allow you to compare used and rental textbook prices from a variety of websites, allowing you to find the cheapest way to get those books.
2. “Rent” from the library
Don’t want to spend any money at all? It’s a stretch, but check with your school library. They might have the textbook you need on reserve, and then you can just visit it when you need it!
3. Get an alternative with built-in study tools
The website Boundless offers a $19.99 digital alternative that is aligned to your assigned textbook and also includes flashcards, quizzes, and study reminders. With these textbook alternatives you can study on-the-go!
4. Share with a friend
If you have a friend in your class with you, split the cost of the textbook and share it. This way, you’ll also have a study buddy! (Make sure you trust your friend if you choose this option!)
Hope this helps – you should have no problem saving money on textbooks now.
Now go rock the semester and enjoy the sound of the extra change in your pocket.
