My current solution for IEEE is to drive 80 miles each way to use the UALR library system. I used to be an IEEE member, but I got disgusted and dropped them long before I dropped all the other societies. When my next to last client eliminated their library I found myself spending over $1500/yr for literature access. With 35+ publications it was a nightmare to maintain any sort of order.
Why don¡¯t you just use sci-hub? Perhaps then do as I did - buy some bitcoin and make a donation to sci-hub. The thing that first made me buy bitcoin was a felt I really should make a donation to sci-hub, as it had provided me access to so many journals.?
I don¡¯t feel guilty about using sci-hub since? a) Authors of articles receive no money? b) Reviewers receive no money. c) Publishers charge a fortune to distribute in a format that costs them relatively little.?
If you disagree with the ethics of sci-hub, then you are not alone. But for me, I feel perfectly justified in using the service.?
