I've been asked to look into the issue of extending
existing licence agreements for online services / databases
to incorporate local / regional organisations and bodies
from sectors outside HE (e.g. Research Institutes,
Hospitals, etc...). I'd especially like to hear from other
Universities / Colleges that have either investigated this
topic or been able to implement some kind of arrangement
with suppliers / publishers already. However, views from
commercial participants on how they are addressing this
issue would be equally helpful. All replies (which can be
sent direct to me instead of the list, if this is felt to
be more desirable) would be welcome. Many thanks.
