Is it possible to access a library without being a student or having a university subscription? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I want to be able to download and/or access the resource The International Encyclopedia of Media Literacy https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781118978238.

I can't seem to find a pdf version anywhere and was hoping to read it via an 'institution' that provides access.

Is it possible to access a university library that provides access (so to speak) to books otherwise only available via subscription?

Alternatively, does anyone know where hard to find books like these might be available?

thanks

worldcat lists the institutions with this book https://search.worldcat.org/title/1048005393, you'll probably have to show up in person. You may be able to do an inter-library loan if your local library doesn't have the book, you could get it from a sister library. However, the only public library that lists having the book is the Austin Public library in Austin, Texas.
