Bloggers: Encyclopedia Brittanica Offering Free Access!

I ran across something very nifty at Small Business Trends:
Encyclopedia Britannica has just opened up its content to Web publishers. As a Web publisher, you can get free access to Britannica.com for a year through a program called Webshare. If you link to any article, your readers also will be able to read the entire article free of charge.
They are using a very broad definition of Web publisher — it includes any webmaster, writer or blogger who publishes regularly.
Bloggers who aren’t keen to link to Wikipedia due to its uneven quality and vulnerability to agenda-driven editors now have a great alternative. When you link to an Encyclopædia Britannica article, your readers can access the article free.
I was just approved and am still browsing around and getting familiar with it, but there are a lot of great features that you’ll be reading about on this blog. They even have blogs of their own.
You can request access here.
I had forgotten all about that.
