Don't forget about Inter library loan! Often free, sometimes with a small fee, this how you can get just about any book, no matter obscure to read. I went through a period where I was doing some research and needed to use the ILL service quite a bit, I felt bad figuring that this was costing the library money (I didn't get any fees charged to me). However, the librarian said that the more the service got used the better for them because they were able to use the statitics for grants and the like and so it could actually help fund the library down the road -- needless to say I still use it!
