Ian,
In order to run the service at the University of Manchester for our
mainly Bioscience/Medical and Science users we have had to have
every student and member of staff (bodies not FTEs) irrespective of
academic discipline counted. A lot of people I assure you and an
expensive sub but very contented users and the service is being
extensively used.
Regards,
Diana
