Here's an example:
The University of Maryland has a "Friends of the Libraries" program here:
http://www.lib.umd.edu/giving/borrowers.html Individuals who donate (tax
deductible, of course) $200 in a year receive the following according to the
website. No affiliation appears to be necessary:
- *Borrowing from UM Libraries*. For borrowing policies and procedures,
see Circulation <http://www.lib.umd.edu/PUBSERV/circ_all.html>
- Interlibrary Loan <http://www.lib.umd.edu/ILL/Welcome.html>
- *Remote Access to Alumni Edition Databases (NEW)*
This benefit is made possible through a partnership with EBSCO
Information Services.
- *Academic Search Alumni Edition*. This database provides full text for
nearly 1,500 publications as well as indexing and abstracting
for over 8,100
publications. There is information in nearly every area of
academic study.
See List of
titles<http://www.epnet.com/thisTopic.php?marketID=1&topicID=167>…
in the database.
- *Business Source Alumni Edition*. This database provides nearly
1,100 full text business magazines and journals. See List of
titles<http://www.epnet.com/thisTopic.php?marketID=1&topicID=168>…
in the database

Please provide a university library that allows anybody to simply telephone
them and get access without physically showing up, nor physically living in
their area of service.
I for one would REALLY like to have that.
Thanks
