@sociology vielleicht weiß hier jemand ja was. Gibt es hier eigentlich eine Gruppe in die man posten kann, wenn man einen bestimmten wissenschaftlichen Artikel oder ein Buch-PDF sucht? Also wenn man über den eigenen Uni Zugang nicht ran kommt oder auch gar keinen hat oder auch einfach keine Wissenschaftsverlage unterstützen möchte 😉

I'm looking for a freely-available full text (PDF, ePub preferably) of Charles Babbage, On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures (1846).

There's a start of one at Wikisource, but it's only the contents, index, and other supplemental material.

Neither LibGen nor Archive Org seem to have a copy of the text in English and out of copyright. (There's a copyrighted repriint at Archive.Org.)

@partridge There's also Library Genesis, ZLibrary, Sci-Hub, Reddit's /r/scholar, and (on Twitter), for materials which are already published and likely to be digitised.

Internet Archive and OpenLibrary also have access to still copyrighted materials, for limited borrowing.
