That does not correlate. To have the need to look up documentation implies
that the user has a computer running PostgreSQL.
As universities DO NOT ALLOW software to be installed on shared computers,
and this is the case especially in a library, it implies
the user has their own computer. As libraries allow users/citizens to
request books be purchased >at no cost to the user/citizen, the
argument that someone cannot afford a book is now a moot point.
