I just discovered that you can access archives from the Oklahoman free of charge if you're a Metropolitan Library card holder. All you have to do is log in to the system (metrolibrary.org) and click on the link for databases. It is full access for articles, search, ads, and all.

Good to know, since I've almost paid for access on several occasions.

I've been playing with the archives for the past hour or so- I found my birth announcement and some other cool stuff.

(Sorry if this has already been posted- I did a quick search and didn't find anything.)

Crap! I need to find my library card.

Just in case, I'll ask---they don't charge you via your library account, do they? It is free if you're a member of the MLS?
