> Many libraries have free online access to very large journal collections and are open to the public Which libraries? I spent a little time looking for that service, and none provided it. IME: Public libraries don't have access to JSTOR or any decent substitute (if there is one). Academic libraries charge several hundred dollars per year for guest membership and provide guests with limited services; none provide offsite access to JSTOR or other journal collections - due to the consistency of this policy, I guessed that it was a contractual restriction imposed by JSTOR.
