So where do you suggest this most useful knowledge lies?

These days most books have a copy online.

Most misses out on an enormous number (at least half the books on my shelves, and I'm no bibliophile.) Google's got them, even though they can't let us see them.

Check out Library Genesis [1]. Personally, the only thing I've trouble finding online are books written in other languages than English.
