Through Boston Public Library:

Massachusetts residents have access to a wide range of free, high-quality digital resources through the Boston Public Library (BPL), many of which can serve as alternatives to those no longer available through statewide systems. With a free BPL eCard--available to anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Massachusetts-- you can access academic databases, online learning tools, newspapers, journals, and more.
To apply for a BPL eCard, visit bpl.org/ecard
