Hi all, If there is anyone who thinks they would be eligible for (and benefit from) access to the research accounts as mentioned below, please get in touch with User:Ocaasi as suggested in the email. Note that although there aren't any accounts for Australian specific services available, a reminder that one of the better local resources - NLA's Trove ( http://trove.nla.gov.au/) - is free!
