   Our local library here in North Britain discontinued its subscription to   
   the OED some years ago. It now directs people to the National Library of   
   Scotland, and that's how I have access. It's restricted, though:   
      
    :   
      
   "If you have a residential address in Scotland you'll get remote access   
   to online journals, newspapers and reports for free through the   
   Library's subscriptions."
