Those are almost all universities and colleges.  My local community
college (which is not among the Project MUSE subscribers, but has JSTOR)
will let me borrow books as a local non-student, but restricts
its computer-based resources to students only, even in person at the
library.  There are many colleges and universities in the area, but all
at least 20 minutes away (and heaven only knows what parking traps for
the unwary they sport) - and as a mom of a toddler I can't really get
out further than the community college, even if some of them did allow
non-students to come in to use their databases.

Any rate, the Minnesota connection will do fine.  I've never seen
such a great public library system - and I grew up in Howard County, MD...
(I note, however, that even the Minnesota public libraries with their
JSTOR access do not appear to be Project MUSE subscribers; Project MUSE
may be even more restrictive than JSTOR?)

Thanks,
Amanda
