It&#x27;s not a complete solution, but you can walk in to many <i>public</i> university libraries without needing to have a university affiliation and use their computers to read&#x2F;print articles and&#x2F;or go find the print copy of many journals.<p>At the UCSF libraries here in San Francisco you can walk in off the street and browse the stacks and use the photocopiers without showing any ID. You can also use a workstation for one 2h session&#x2F;day for free to access online journals and databases. You can also pay $100&#x2F;yr for borrowing privileges (up to 5 items at a time).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.library.ucsf.edu&#x2F;services&#x2F;computing&#x2F;policies_public_computer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.library.ucsf.edu&#x2F;services&#x2F;computing&#x2F;policies_pub...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.library.ucsf.edu&#x2F;services&#x2F;borrowing&#x2F;privileges" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.library.ucsf.edu&#x2F;services&#x2F;borrowing&#x2F;privileges</a>
