      And my university library is apparently not allowed to give off campus access to several ebooks because of the legal deposit system in the UK and Ireland, so feel free to ask me how that's worked out in a pandemic.

      I don't blame the library or the librarians. My librarians have been brilliant. But frankly if your "solution" to people using PDFs of academic books is to demand that universities give access, that isn't a solution.

      People have been saying it for ages. Why do you think OA is a thing? But it's not going to happen today or tomorrow. Librarians have been working so hard to get people books. It's also not on them. Can you imagine if we all, today, emailed them with the books we need online?

      Like it would take months, at a minimum. Depending on the ebook licenses it would be very expensive as I have seen. And they aren't going to shell out for a book that is out of print and 40 years old.

      I've bought what academic and ebooks I could afford, because I knew I'd use them a lot. But they amounted to a week's worth of food each time, if not more.

      Those I just need one sentence from? What do you expect me to do? Or any of us? Put myself at risk by walking to my library to check a reference for one footnote to then come back home and then have to do it again? No.

      There were three books I HAD to get. So my library was able to post them for me, as they are offering that as a service. But I can't do too many. How about the books I can't even check out? They are consult only. Well good thing I scanned most of it before covid.

      Months ago when people were talking about the OA stuff that was available for a little while, I said loads about how that should just be the norm. But it isn't, and now that OA is gone. The pandemic is still here.

      Fundamentally, the academic publishing model was hardly fit for purpose before there was a world wide pandemic. It is encumbent upon the industry that wants to profit in order to figure out the work around, not the grad students who use it.

      I am tired of watching people shift the blame of a faltering system on those that it is harming the most. I am especially tired of watching people defend an *industry * over actual people who are struggling.

      Absolutely. Everyone was more interested in defending someone employed too.
