hmuchmo1, you are correct as long as your public library has the correct subscription. This costs the library system quite a bit of money, so it is not as common as you might think (or hope, in this case)! For instance, I have seen plenty of library systems with a subscription to Gale's Virtual Reference Library, but this is not the same at all as it only allows access to encyclopedias.
