My free library subscription in Birmingham, England, gets me access -
from home or indeed anywhere else - to a number of otherwise-paywalled
online databases and services <http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/libsubs>.
These include:

  * Credo Reference
  * Naxos Music Library - streaming classicall & other music
  * Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
  * Oxford English Dictionary
  * Oxford Reference Online
  * Times Digital Archive - complete from 1785 - 1985

and more besides. But not JSTOR.
