SimonOne of the few bonuses of working in a university is that you get full access to the library. I wanted to read an obscure article from an obscure journal printed in 1985. No electronic copy exists online. I requested it on the uni library website and someone went down to the archive, found the article, scanned it and emailed it to me a couple of hours later. Now I've got a taste for it.
