Internet reference sites accessible with a valid UK Library card

This is really here:

But Foxhill does not respond to messages and has not been on for a long time, and I am terrified that this fantastic resource could be lost somehow.

The following is a list of Internet Reference sites that are accessible to the following -

  • Holders of a valid UK Library Card
  • International holders of Library Cards

where the library holds a subscription to the site

Joining a Library in the UK is free. To logon, you will need to know in some cases both your library card number and your library's letter identifier (e.g SWI for Swindon or D for Northamptonshire).
