Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] New Wikipedia Library Signups: Free Research Accounts!

2014-11-05 Thread Nick Dowling 
I'd add that anyone with an Australian postal address can access a pretty wide 
range of resources (including JSTOR and various Oxford databases) through the 
National Library of Australia's website: http://www.nla.gov.au/app/eresources/
That said, I gained a Questia account through the Wikipedia Library, and it's 
an excellent resource.

And if you are a NSW resident see:

http://www2.sl.nsw.gov.au/eresources/

for lots of 'no charge resources' (supported by your taxes) with lots of
the big overseas databases and Australian ones.

Regards, Richard.
