San Diego Public Library online databases

The San Diego (city) Public Library has the following genealogy oriented databases (at http://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/catalog-databases/):

1) Ancestry Library Edition - can be accessed only at the library and branches, not from home

2) Biographical and Genealogical Master Indexes - can be accessed from home with a library card bar code number.
