The great thing about living in a college town

and DC qualifies, is that for the universities that allow public access to their libraries (CUA, American University, Georgetown), those of us with a scholarly bent can use their journal databases and get access to what are otherwise "obscure" publications such as the Journal of Planning Literature, Urban Studies Journal, Journal of Planning Education and Research, etc.

While these journals may be available at the Library of Congress in hard copy, they can still be difficult to obtain.

It's great.
