Many colleges and universities have access via their libraries to a number of periodicals, papers, journals etc. But once you graduate, you lose access
With something like sci-hub we don’t really need access to many things on the academic side.
But it seems valuable for EAs to not be pay-walled for access to various journals or news outlets (e.g. Harvard Business Review or Wall Street Journal or something) if they want to do resaerch (if there’s a sci-hub for stuff like that that could also work!)
We could probably develop this in a way where there are natural barriers to using it (e.g. core group of people are past EAG attendees, new members must be invited by at least 1 “core” member).
I have no clue what the cost for something like this would be, but it could be pretty easy to figure out by speaking to a university librarian or two! (I imagine probably in the ~$10,000-$100,000 range per year?
