I'm thinking of doing a science-overview post on boredom, with the intent of working out how to notice and respond to it. How would I go about finding good existing studies on the subject, noting that I don't have access to university resources and have basically no academic training beyond undergrad level?
(this won't happen soon; it's on my Potential Next Projects list after my current project is completed. This is more so I can get an idea of how feasible or difficult such a project will be for me. I'll probably repeat this request if and when I decide to move forward.)
Not having access to an university proxy just makes things slower. Reddit scholar or the Lesswrong helpdesk can give you access to the papers that you need.
Google scholar also gives you abstracts and citation data for papers.
