- klysm 4y agoThat’s a very expensive alternative compared to a VPN
- trasz 4y agoIt’s actually free, unless you live in some weird country that doesn’t have libraries.
- klysm 4y agoMost of the stuff I’m interested in isn’t going to appear in print in libraries unfortunately
- trasz 4y agoEven university libraries? What kind of books do you have in mind?
- mcswell 4y agoConference proceedings. When I was at a computational linguistics conference back in ~2004, I was appalled when another attendee checking out from the hotel left his printed conference proceedings there, saying the electronic form (CD then, web pages now) was good enough and a lot easier to carry around. I thought about that as I carried the printed proceedings (large conference, so large proceedings) back on the flight home. He was right, I was wrong. And I haven't seen printed conference proceedings for some years now.
