More good news for online students: Harvard is making much of its online collection available to everyone, free of cost. D-Lib Magazine explains:

"Visitors to the Harvard Libraries web site can find and use thousands of individual digital materials from the Harvard collections. While access to many licensed e-resources, such as journals, require a Harvard ID and PIN, many other electronic materials and digital objects are open to all."
