I work in Philadelphia, have their library card, and didn't know that Philly's web site is better than the suburban ones until I saw this thread.

Buried in the Philadelphia library menus I found that they have EBSCOhost MasterFILE Premium, which gives you access to lots of magazines and journals not on the open internet, typically with maybe a couple weeks delay after the publication date. This was available state-wide (i.e. through most local Pennsylvania public library web sites) until this year, when they switched over to WilsonWeb, which I find slow and frustrating to use.

Hopefully the international subscribers are getting everything we get.
