You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.

If you are are doing any kind of learning (as a citizen or registered student) your local librarian, particularly your local academic librarian, is your best friend and you just don’t know it yet. Introduce yourself, and come with questions.
But don’t neglect your public librarians either - that light I saw in their eyes when asking about an obscure service they offered stuck with me.
Snapz@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This is horrible. I’m going to download a bunch of these PDFs so that there are less copies available for other dishonest people to download.
I’m doing my part!

I don’t suppose your professor teaches a class in film too and also knows where I SHOULD AVOID PIRATING TV SHOWS?
It’s been a long time and I’m not sure which waters are safe to sail anymore.

Please do no visit piracy@lemmy.dbzero.com

Wow that’s a 404 for me. Looks like maybe the lemmy.world instance has made that choice for me.
Thank god I’m protected! I would have to create a new account on another instance to lose that protection, which is, uh, good, because…
Anyway I forgot what I was saying.

you should also avoid the pastebin service Rentry. there are too many people that are MEGA obsessed with making THREADS with it.
alekwithak@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ripped.guidd is the place to see exactly where you should avoid. :)

Well, would you look at that? Looks like I kicked another mess under the rug. Deary me.

I bookmarked it to make sure i don’t visit it accidentally.

I’ll just recommend Anna’s archive… And we all know which Anna I’m talking about (if not, than google and you shall see)

This needs a crosspost in Piracy
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No, piracy is vad you see. This isn’t advocating piracy, the professor warned them about accessing the sites.

Why is it a problem that you gave anna’s archive 5 £?

Fast downloads are a gateway drug.

For those of you that have yet to embark on your secondary education, this is how you know you’ve got a champ of a professor

Oh no, it also looks like I’ve spilled www.smartquantai.com over there. What a disaster, don’t look at that mutual aid community for hard to find papers; it’s full of communists and anarchists. Cannot have that kind of radical behaviour in a science community after all.

I’m sure glad this isn’t a Music forum
kautau@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I know this is a helpful community, but it looks like the biggest scam site of all time lol

One of my professors wrote the textbook we were using. Before the first day of class, he sent out a greeting email. Attached to that email was a .PDF of the textbook. Hell yeah.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
That’s really rare. Back when I was in school the professor who taught the class and wrote the book would, every year, change enough of it to sell a new addition. Either move the sections around or change the problems.
Just so he could make more money.
It was a calculus class.
Fuck him.

Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn’t give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester… It’s the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol
stoly@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s more of a grad school thing but I’ve had professors just give us all physical copies of their book because they have too many cases of free copies at home.
CptEnder@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ha hell yeah. My dad did adjunct work for a while while working for the gov. He declined profits from his textbook and gave it out free to his students as he thought it was unethical. The copies the gov bought for their cont ed courses he gladly accepted the profits from though lmao my dad’s a real one.

Yep, and a good way to make acquaintances in class if you let everyone know you can be the PDF kid. 🤓
