    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

      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.
