To help researchers (and Wikipedians), I've been collaboratively working on a now 24-option guide about how to access sources when you don't have access to them. Many of you are pros at this kind of digging. Could you give it 10 minutes and feel free to make comments, suggestions, corrections, or additions? Don't hesitate to be bold :)

You're a Researcher without Access to Research: What do you do?

Investigating solutions for small nonprofits, social impact organizations, and earnest individuals.

The world of publishing is evolving frantically, while it remains frustratingly fragmented and prohibitively expensive for many. If you're a student who just left your plush academic library behind only to discover you are now locked out of the stacks; a Swedish startup researching water usage in Africa and keep hitting paywalls; a small nonprofit that studies social change activism, but all the latest papers cost $40 per read… This article is for you.

Thank you!
