I think here, the most good we could probably do is in getting access
to journals that your average public library won't offer. I do get
access to some research resources through the regular public libraries
here, and that's pretty standard. Maybe we should survey what those
offer, to get a better idea where the major gaps might be?

The typical budget today for e-resources for a major university is on
the order of three to six million dollars a year, mainly for science
journals and databases. The most expensive subscriptions to the works
of a single publisher can be over one million dollars, and there are
individual databases in the fifty to one hundred-thousand dollar
range. A typical budget for a good undergraduate college might be one
million; it will not have the most expensive journals.
