[Foundation-l] WSJ on Wikipedia

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I wonder if the WSJ can be found in the British Australian Canadian New
Zealand .... libraries ... also books are available for years the copy of
the day may be available in a library, but how about last years copy of the
WSJ ? Do you really think the WSJ can be found in every USA library ??
Thanks.
