atw: Re: {ANN] Free three-month subscription to the Macquarie Dictionary Online

Not only the National Library of Australia - local libraries give free
online access to Macquarie PLUS the Oxford and many other great
resources e.g. Encyclopedia Britannica & Groves Dictionary of Music -
at least they do here in the ACT. One only needs to join & get a card
& a login for free.
