No, actually, they charge for access... and I don't
know of any access except over the Internet (although
I imagine dial-up and leased-line is still available).

I was granted access as a "distinguished visiting scholar".

But if you'd like, I'll enquire as to cost of access... maybe
it's affordable (i.e. $20/month).
