Ask HN: How do you access journals outside of academia?
Journal subscriptions seem outrageously expensive if you have a broad range of interests. Outside of illegal access, what are some cost-effective ways of accessing a broad collection of journals outside of academia?

- RossBencina 10y agoIf you have studied at a University in the past, look into whether your library has a past-student's membership. I know mine does (~$20/year for e-journal access only, $130 for full borrowing rights).
