[tips] Re: Repeat request re: research databases

[Don Allen]

Hi Paul- I don't know about commercial databases, but have you thought about enrolling at a  local community college to get access to the online literature. The small enrollment fee for one course would probably be less expensive than a commercial database. -Don.
