Many people don't know that their local library has a wealth of information available to them besides the books. Most libraries have access to online databases that index the full text of thousands of newpapers and magazines. I live in King County, Washington, which has one of best library systems in the country. We have access to most popular magazines and newspapers - including expensive ones like the Wall Street Journal. You can even do this all on the web, without needing to go to your local library.
Something to take advantage of!
