First of all, when I said that it was not free, I was referring to the 
public libraries and library networks that have to pay the publishers 
for the access. Of course, access to the public at the public libraries 
is free, IF the public library can afford access to the data bases in 
the first place.

> Don't most University libraries provide free entry (not lending)?

Well,
 up until about a decade-or-so ago, this was true. Unfortunately today, 
for several reasons (campus security, restricted access to 
college-licensed  databases, to restrict access to the Internet on 
library computers, etc.), more university libraries are restricting 
access to students, faculty, and staff.
