The Library of Congress also has what may be the world's largest  
collection of electronic databases freely available to readers in its  
Capitol Hill location.

Listing of full-text electronic journals:

Unfortunately, as Sandy Treadway indicated, the licensing agreements  
that make these invaluable databases available to research libraries  
also generally make offsite access prohibitively expensive or forbid  
it altogether--but researchers should not hesitate to come to the  
Library of Congress or their local college or university library.  In  
today's never-ending budget competitions, after all, libraries are  
seldom sorry to see patrons show up.
