Sharing low cost company database resource

The Free Library of Philadelphia will issue a library card to anyone online for $50/year which gives access to handful of business databases like Mergent Intellect and Reference USA. If your local library doesn't subscribe to a useful database, this is an option to consider. I know many of the smaller, local libraries do not often have these sorts of databases.
