See the following posting from another list. I tried accessing Heritage Quest with my San Antonio Public Library card and it worked! You do need to go through your public library's Internet site to access it, though. In the case of the San Antonio Public Library, I first accessed their home page at the following site: http://www.sanantonio.gov/library/?res=1024&ver=true I next clicked on "Articles and Databases," which is listed on the left side of the page. Then I scrolled down and clicked on "Heritage Quest Online." After entering my name and library card number as requested, and clicking on "Go," I was able to access the Heritage Quest database. There is a wealth of information available at this site, including census records and some hard-to-find books. (I wish I had tried this a long time ago!) San Antonio library cards have to be renewed in person annually, free of charge to Bexar County residents, at one of the San Antonio libraries. In related news, I am told that the Semmes Branch of the San Antonio Public Library, located in Comanche Lookout Park, at the corner of Nacogdoches and Judson Roads, will be opening on Saturday, Nov. 5th.
