There may or may not be one. As for research, check around at a couple
of your libraries. ILL is often possible, and a number of librarians
consider this sort of unusual question fun. Sure beats "where's the
bathroom?" "Why are you charging me for this book, my dog only ate
half?" and "why can't I watch porn on the computers in the children's
section?" With many libraries closed to the public you'll be more
likely to have a librarian wanting a good challenge too.
Depending on policy and what they find they may be able to scan and
send it (sometimes for a small fee), other times it is in-person access
only, depends on the institution.
