“Louis Borders Turns the Page”
Another story about KeepMedia. This company offers the consumer full-text access (about $4.95/month) to an archive of content from about 150 titles. Back in July, when the service first launched, ResourceShelf offered several posts and comments about KeepMedia. I said back then (I’ll say it again now) that many public libraries offer FREE remote access to databases that offer searchable archives of THOUSANDS of publications. Unfortunately, these free services get little to no media coverage. Sad.

See Also: Those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about regarding libraries offering FREE remotely accessible access (no need to visit the library building) to thousands of publications and other high-quality databases might want to take a look at a few examples of these services. All you need is a library card for that particular library. Contact your library to find out what you have access to. Here are five examples: NY Public Library, Los Angeles Public Library, King County (Washington) Public Library, Fairfax Cty (Virginia) Public Library, Hamilton (Ontario) Public Library. School, academic, and other types of libraries also provide these services. Just ask!!!
