[WikiEN-l] Subscription idea

[Todd Allen]

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?
