...in most areas, at least. Thirteen out of 194 public library services don't subscribe to the ODNB: Aberdeen Central Library Bridgend Library and Information Service Caerphilly Libraries Carmarthen Library Conwy County Borough Council East Sussex Libraries Inverclyde Libraries Isle of Anglesey Library Service Neath Port Talbot Libraries North Tyneside Libraries Rotherham Libraries South Lanarkshire Libraries South Tyneside Libraries http://global.oup.com/fdscontent/academic/xls/online_products/Online%20Oxford%20resources%20in%20UKPL.xls - though note that in some cases, you may be able to get access via a neighbouring area if you're registered there.

On Charles and Andrew's points, Manchester Libraries very kindly allow anyone in the UK to register with them. See http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/200062/libraries/78/join_the_library . The process is a tad odd - if you are asked if you are accessing via Cardiff libraries, say yes - I think they handled the national deal with OUP. That's what I have to do anyway. I don't know if you get the American biography book in the UK package though.
