Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals? (slrpnk.net)

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

Both are on Oxford Politics Trove. Would you happen to have institutional access?

Issues in Political Theory (4th edn, 2019)
Rethinking political thinkers (1st edn, 2023)

Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.

Neither are in MAM (private tracker for books). Sorry.
