I am68 year old retired guy who never wants to stop learning. I rally like your videos. I am researching what it means to be literate in a digital age (digital literacy). I do not like finding research papers that I cannot read because I am not a student. Can you do a video on how to get and read papers when you are old and not in college anymore (and poor)? Thank you.
Todd, I commend you for being a lifelong learner. Good for you. I have addressed the use of Google Scholar (scholar.google.com/) in a number of videos. I think that this source is the most convenient means of accessing many (but, sadly, not all) scholarly works without needing to use a commercial research paper aggregation service, such as those made accessible to students in university libraries. You may also find that state-sponsored colleges and universities in your area allow community access to the library resources. I can use the libraries at the state universities and community colleges in my area without having a student or faculty account. The librarians at your public library may also be aware of other alternatives that are available to you. Because the availability of research materials varies by locale, I think it is best that you make acquaintance with all of the librarians that you can in your area. Start with the public libraries and then move on to the public college libraries. You may not get the same access that students and faculty have (e.g., the ability to research from a personal computer at home), but if you are able to physically visit the libraries, you may find that the librarians can either create an account for you or already have a guest account available that will allow you to search, download, and print papers. Depending on the license that the libraries grant, you may be able to download the papers as Adobe PDF files to be e-mailed to yourself or saved to a USB flash memory drive. If you were allowed to use a flash drive, I would caution you to be aware of the increased possibility of malware transmission between the library and your personal computers. I hope that you are able to find additional access to the research materials that you desire to read. :) Dr. Murphy
