SimonOne of the few bonuses of working in a university is that you get full access to the library. I wanted to read an obscure article from an obscure journal printed in 1985. No electronic copy exists online. I requested it on the uni library website and someone went down to the archive, found the article, scanned it and emailed it to me a couple of hours later. Now I've got a taste for it. I'll be sending them off to scan all manner of old articles <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#library</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libraries</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Librarians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Librarians</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/archive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archive</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiving</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a>
