Hey @Wostr - I'm archived this wish, as there are potential copyright issues relating to an official database of library access and, in addition, such access may be hard to track and maintain.

Still, there are a number of relevant proxies of this page, where volunteers have shared their access. Note - there may be potential legal or copyright issues with users sharing access to content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Shared_Resources JWheeler-WMF (talk) 15:25, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I find this decision unclear, most likely resulting from the US-centric approach to the issue (PS citing potential legal issues would require a source, not an opinion). Wostr (talk) 16:12, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
