By the way, and forgive me if I've mentioned this before, the SCSC
conference later in October in Minneapolis has a session on Saturday
morning to introduce a whole new database of state papers. I get
confused by the companies who own the companies who are the companies
that do the posting, but either this is the Gale people or a
subsidiary or owner. I look forward to the session, but I suspect
this is going to be one more case of to those who have shall be
given. The motivation of the publisher must be not to sell to hoi
polloi like us but to get us to pressure our libraries. I got the
impression from the publisher as we negotiated their participation on
the program that what they are describing is either pretty recent or
about to be offered. And it can be all yours for many thousands of
dollars (or hundreds of Euros, at the rate we are going). Come to
Minneapolis. Anne.
