If you're lucky enough, like me, to live in a university town, don't miss out on the faculty library of whatever subject area of your interest (science, art, philosophy, you name it). I'm currently neck-deep in a subject, and was searching for an expensive (80€) reference book online, and serendipitously I came across a search result pointing to my local university. I immediately biked to the university (15-minute ride), paid a piddling amount of 15€ (or 25€, I forget) as the membership fee for the faculty library, and loaned that book and a couple of others. Pretty neat. Since then, I discovered, 95% of all the serious scholarly works that I want to refer to are available at the university faculty library. By Jove do I struggle to express how delighted I am to have stumbled across that online search result (here Google gets my gratitude!), which led to many fruitful (non-null) pointers. I already spend substantial money on physical books, so this discovery of faculty library has been an outstanding find.
