I'm now working for the National Library of Australia and we offer free, at

Is this unique to Australia?
My free library subscription in Birmingham, England, gets me access -
from home or indeed anywhere else - to a number of otherwise-paywalled
online databases and services <http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/libsubs>.
In Denmark, and I believe most of the USA, the norm is only on-site
access to subscriptions, for the general public. University-affiliated
researchers do have the option to login remotely, or VPN in to get an
institutional IP address offsite. But the general public has to use
library computers to access the subscriptions, or (in some cases) their
own computers on the library WiFi.
