[Noisebridge-discuss] FYI Safari Books Online on SFPL

[Tito Jankowski]

Great links. Also, for those times when you need a non-open access science
paper and don't want to pay $30 apiece...
As a non-academic with the DIYbio community, I send my requests off to
getarticles _at_ googlegroups.com. The group, made up of students who *do*
have free access to articles, will send you back a pdf or upload the article
to scribd.
