I wasn’t aware that that is a thing, thanks Mike

Internet Archive's free library is a great boon to scholars; I use it almost daily in my work. The court case against them by some publishers is attempting to shut them down, but so far the courts are allowing them to lend books that don't currently have ebook versions. The case is being appealed and will definitely go all the way to SCOTUS. Because they are based in the US, that will mean that no one in the world will have access if SCOTUS rules against them.

It's definitely a court case to watch. A quick internet search will give you the details. Basically, the Internet Archive holds a physical copy of the book, which they have scanned. If someone checks out the book, it is unavailable for others to access until it is "returned" by the borrower. To make it fair, they only allow a check out of one hour. Because of the esoteric nature of our field, I have only ever run into that once over the last year since the court's decision. Many theological libraries are contributing books to IA for scanning.

The other resource is, of course, Google Books, but it restricts access because of a court ruling. In this case the courts were probably correct, as there is not a physical book being held.
