Libgen is incredible if you need a chapter or two each from a whole bunch of books that’d qualify as obscure outside of a university library. Or if you want the TOCs and indices from a huge number of books of that sort so you can figure out which ones you even need, and when. Massive time saver. I mean it’s great for other things too but for that kind of dragnet research—damn is it nice.

Beats the hell out of waiting on inter-library loan when you just need to skim a few pages.
