Can people please give some hints on places to access good academic resources such as Journals and/or E books online which are either free or paid subscription? As someone who is wheelchair bound it is often difficult getting out to access local libaries, I would be very grateful for your assistance.

The yearly annual subscription is reasonable (and tax deductible if you live in the U.S.) and the library contains a fair mix of books, academic journals and magazines. Easy search set up too. If you need med articles, PubMed is a free cataloguing service run by the National Institutes of Health. It will provide abstracts and, when available, point you to where you can get an article either free or through a subscription. As far as free, both Google books and Amazon will give you limited reads of a lot of their product, which can also be useful. I hope that helps!

I cancelled my subscription when I quit writing, though I do have access to a lot of sites that are subscription based through the chambers I work for. These are expensive if you had to pay for them yourself so there is no point recommending them unless you are getting in so much work it justifies paying for such sites. I have used Pubmed as well and ssrn can also be very useful. I am also signed up to medlaw.com which is free and gives you regular updates on changes in practice.
