It's a Twitter not a cop I'll do what I want

Fun fact: you can email authors of papers and ask for a PDF. Authors don't get paid when you buy a paper (in fact it usually costs money to publish) and they'll generally be happy to send out their work to anyone interested.

Definitely don't use mobilism for a solid archive of epubs and audiobooks. It'd be awful if people had access to free and enriching entertainment

That and z-library. I hope people are careful to steer free from these sites/apps that work amazingly well.

Anna’s library should also never be used

I always appreciated the professors that looked out for us and warned us of the places not to get any textbooks from, with links so we could recognize what to avoid, of course.

Then we'd get a professor that gave up doing anything and had us buy a $200, license (with a $200 textbook) to an online course that taught and graded his class.

This is what professors in school and universities say when you need to use specific book but even they know it's so damn expensive.

My biology professor said, this is the required textbook available from the college bookstore. And here's how the syllabus matches up with the OpenStax book

The amount of money my wife and I saved earning our degrees with libgen is in the thousands

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 hours ago

You only needed two books for your degrees?

If you haven’t bailed from the platform completely you certainly shouldn’t join the facebook group “ask for pds from people with institutional access” either

Is sci-hub updated again? I mean its good it still works for papers older than a few years, but does it for papers from the last few years?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 13 hours ago

It has sort of merged with Anna's Archives which is hit and miss for recent stuff, but still the best out there. Their Sci-Hub proxy always works.
