@EposVox I did this when I needed an article for my MA thesis. My uni didn't have access, friends at different unis had the same problem...
Didn't know this was allowed, so I felt bad about approaching the author directly, but sent him a polite email, explaining the situation.
Received a very charming reply within hours, PDF of what I needed attached, he even expressed interest in my thesis topic.
#Teachers, #researchers are amazing and they work way too hard
