In a similar vein, I have no access to most research journals, including even the American Mathematical Monthly going back to 1923. —Dan

Dear Math Fun, This paper J. D. H. Dickson, <a href=" http://plms.oxfordjournals.org/content/s1-10/1/120.extract">Discussion of two double series arising from the number of terms in determinants of certain forms</a>, Proc. London Math. Soc., 10 (1879), 120-122. has some nice sequences in it. I HAVE a photocopy, which I made myself about 45 years ago, but I was hoping that by now it would be freely available on the web, so I could put a link to a free copy into sequence https://oeis.org/A047920 and many others that the paper contains.
Fat chance - Oxford Univ. Press will rent it to me for one day for $39.00.
No doubt I am naive, but I find this very annoying. It was published by the London Mathematical Society in 1879.
Best regards Neil
