Ask HN: Where do you get your scientific papers from?
Given the recent hubbub about ACM's money-seeking ways, I'm wondering where HN members get their scientific research papers from?
I'm currently both an IEEE and ACM member; I find the IEEE digital library to be somewhat of a joke - ACM is much better in comparison, but still lacking.
I don't like putting 100 bucks in a million different organizations in order to be able to search for science (which should be open to all!) so this begs the question: what's the most cost-efficient method of obtaining scientific papers for research? Also, what resource has the best search engine for said papers (both ACM's and IEEE's engines suck)?
