Dealing with Openathens when an Independent Researcher

You need to be a member of a subscribing library.
I have access through Glasgow University, as an Alumni it's something like £40 for the year.
Your own Uni ought to have something similar ?
You don't actually need to visit the Uni to access once the account is set up, well, for some things.
There's also a kind of reciprocal agreement between some Colleges and Universities for researchers.
You can write such fees off in your tax assessment I believe if you're self employed.

You don't need to be, you have studied there or graduated from there, therefore you're an Alumni, and you can pay the fee and get access as such. Independent researchers pay for access to other libraries to best suit themselves. They're all a little different, but research libraries will have some way you can create an account.
Check out the details of your old University library for Alumni access or Researchers access.
You might get lucky; some have bursaries for unemployed, etc.,

It's very bitty, and it's often cherry picked. It's also hard to find the entire piece sometimes. Taken out of context it can lose both meaning and intent.
Best of luck finding a bursary or research grant as well as access.
