Announcement International Celtic Studies Postgraduate Seminar, 2012

[ejp10]

If the library is getting government revenue, then the justification may be that it's restricted to local residents because the library is a service for the Welsh community. For instance, the Penn State library is open for any resident of Pennsylvania, but only for residents of Pennsylvania.

It's frustrating, but I can say that the EEBO is available through my institution (Penn State) and that any resident from Pennsylvania could probably get to it free via a library account at Penn State. 

I'm not saying everyone could access it as easily though.
