Want really lo-tech - try calling the research desk at one's local
library - generally, they can track down anything and obtain it through
inter-library loan. Really useful when one wants a copy of an obscure
paper that's only available for an exorbitant reprint fee - our local
library can get pretty much anything, and deliver it via email, at no cost.
This Internet thing has nothing on public librarians. :-)
