    Wikipedia: Good Source or... Not

    Gaius Octavius: You questions are good ones. It works the way it does, and I can only speak for New South Wales here in Australia, because some of these organisations licence their services out to universities, libraries and the like for a considerable fee. So if you are not in one of those...
