ok this is what you do:
you go to the library only once, get a membership card and a username/password for electronic use.
and use that username/password to access electronic resources of that library from anywhere.
i hope this helps.

- djacobs 16y agoHarvard, for one, doesn't let you do that. You can't even get into most of their library buildings without an ID.
- bugsy 16y agoCan you name some academic libraries that offer free membership cards to the general public that enable web access to journals? I've never heard of this, and the institutions I am personally familiar with certainly don't allow this. At the closest three universities to where I am now, a library card for the public costs $500-$1000 a year. This was also the case in other cities I have lived in. If there are research libraries for which this is not the case I would love to know about them. Obviously from your post you have found some, so if you would name them it would help others.
