Crafts magazine is now offering free access to its 50-year online archives. The magazine covers high-quality museum-level crafts and their makers, of all types. The archive can also be searched by keyword, and the Australian site seems fairly speedy at present when accessed from the UK.

The Library Journal now offers temporary free access. This is via public generic log-on details, so no email registration is needed. The log-on may appear to hang and not complete. But on leaving it for a minute I found, on then clicking away, that I had been logged in. I experienced a lot of time-outs, so the site may be experiencing heavy traffic.
