I would like to second that as well -- this is a very important way in which
the Foundation could support high-volume content contributors, and which
would make a significant difference to article quality.
This should be a part of university outreach as well. Many university
students have log-in IDs enabling them to log into academic databases from
their homes. Please tell universities who would like to support Wikipedia
that this is a really important way in which they can support the project,
by allowing established content contributors access to these databases.
And as Sarah says, if numbers are limited, access should be given to editors
based on merit, based on a history of content work that would benefit from
such access.
