Is it possible to access a library without being a student or having a university subscription?

I want to be able to download and/or access the resource The International Encyclopedia of Media Literacy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/…/9781118978238.

I can’t seem to find a pdf version anywhere and was hoping to read it via an ‘institution’ that provides access.

Is it possible to access a university library that provides access (so to speak) to books otherwise only available via subscription?

Alternatively, does anyone know where hard to find books like these might be available?

thanks

worldcat lists the institutions with this book search.worldcat.org/title/1048005393, you’ll probably have to show up in person. You may be able to do an inter-library loan if your local library doesn’t have the book, you could get it from a sister library. However, the only public library that lists having the book is the Austin Public library in Austin, Texas.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.

In the US, many public universities allow access to the public, including use of computer terminals that will allow access to paid databases. In many cases, you could bring in a usb stick and save copies of articles downloaded from such databases, or at worst you could pay a small fee to print some stuff out. AFAIK, that kind of access varies state by state though, so you need to call university libraries near you to find out.
