Lon,

If your public library or state library network offered EbscoHost, an online 
database service that offers full text of many journals, newspapers, reports, 
documents, encylopedias, etc, I believe you could get the material without 
the risk of spam.

As a library card holder of Boston Public Library I can access all their 
databases from my home computer. No cookie ever comes my way from 
www.bpl.org. Unfortunately they don't carry Ebsco. My point is, do you know 
what's available from your library system?
