ill from your local library

if you find an article that you cannot access for free or purchase, you can ask your local public library to request it for you through interlibrary loan (ill).  most libraries participate in some kind of interlibrary loan or resource sharing program, and your local librarian will be happy to help you make the request using your local public library account.
