Greetings I have just been looking at the State Library of NSW web site to see if they hold copies of a now defunct newspaper, and came across this piece of information. "Access to databases from home From July to October 2006 the State Library is offering trial access from home to the following selection of databases for residents of New South Wales. To participate you must be a New South Wales resident and also be registered as a State Library client. If you are not a registered client of the Library, you can apply online. You will need to allow up to 10 days to receive your Reader's Card before you can use these databases from home." End of quote Do a search on State library of NSW, click on the Find button, then the Databases button and then the Access from home button. That will take you to the page showing the databases you can access from home. once you are registered. Hope this helps someone Howard - Newcastle
