First glance: looks interesting, but have they sized it right? Veerrrry
slow!
Do we now have some serious competition for the eLib ANR projects? I
notice that SOSIG is one of the social sciences resources pointed to. I
wonder what sort of effect this launch has on possible exit strategies for
these services? (Could make them easier or harder at first thought!)
