I'd like to compile a list of scholarly/academic articles on the Nights available online and for free and without having to have a University account.  I'll add to this post as I find them so bookmark this link if you're interested.
I think with Google Books and archive.org the future of scholarship/research is heading in this direction - not sure how it's all going to work out though (ie university press books / obscure journals having info for free vs. having to have a university pay for access or having a non-affiliate having to pay upwards of $100s of dollars for a slim book of essays). 
In any case, feel free to email me others and I'll keep posting all of the links here for an e-bibliography type experiment.

These aren't necessarily articles available online but rather collections of bibliographies online that you can see (and then go find the articles/books from there).
