As the title says, I'm trying to write a dissertation without being able to access my university library. As a result I'm finding it very hard to find the literature to do so, it's advised to not use many internet websites, the bulk of my references should come from books, journals and reports. Right now I am having a very hard time with where to find these, and it is not an option for me to buy every book that I may think will be useful, as that would cost me 1000's by the end. Can anyone offer any suggestions of as to where I can find what im looking for? It's a chemical engineering dissertation and the topic is hydraulic fracturing for gas.
