I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

Sci hub no longer updates, and these books are too recent.

Use libgen

Edit: you can also check the FMHY Wiki for sources.

I’ve already mentioned in the body that it ain’t on libgen. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a point of asking. I’ll check the other wiki though, thanks.

You sure about scihub? I am finished without it. Do you know what's going on there?

This is true, search for details on the lawsuit in India. In the interim before sci-hub 2, we with library access would love to get you what you need manually, eg. Trying to reboot ye olde #ICanHazPDF hashtag to seed hand to hand distribution. It doesnt fill therapy but u can DM me anytime.

Try libgen and Anna's archive as well

Yes, as a result of SciHub’s ongoing litigation in India, they voluntarily decided to stop updating their database. This is old news. You can look it up.
