Hi all. Though the DNB 'free access' week is now over, many UK & Ireland County Public Libraries are still providing their members with free offsite access. Simply type your full lib card number (without any spaces) into this page: http://www.oxforddnb.com/auth/login.jsp. A list of all the counties whose libs subscribe is at: http://www.oup.com/oxforddnb/info/freeodnb/libraries/. Lawrence Greenall. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Ha Haa!
