Hi Bob,
go to your local city library get membership[ here in California it is
free] , and ask them to get from the university library, it will take
some time than they cal you the your stuff is there, you could have it
for four weeks if you need you could extend it for an other four weeks,
the engineering library of the university of Berkeley is open to
everybody, you can not take it out without additional formality, but you
could read, copy, scan it there,
I assume that works similarly in your state/ city/ university library,
If you have a specific title, let me know, it will not happen right
away, since I am working on five projects [for clients] also I am [life]
member of the IEEE, where is not everything free any more, but people
are reasonable

As a Californian, I thought similarly.. all the UC libraries are open to
the public and you can get free access to online resources (e.g. IEEE
Xplore) via free public workstations; although printing stuff costs
money. There might be visiting hour restrictions for the general public
(no showing up at 3 AM), and most of them do require some kind of photo ID.
However, a bit of casual browsing shows that this is decidedly NOT the
case in other states. The Ohio State University, as far as I can tell,
requires you to be a member of "Friends of the Library", which is not
free. It was unclear whether free access to Univ of Washington
libraries includes online access (on-site).
Fascinating.
Local public libraries vary (even in California) on their interlibrary
loan/ability to request copies of articles. It depends on local budgets
and politics.
