Content-return: allowed Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2001 15:20:14 -0500 From: "Sloan, Bernie" <bernies@UILLINOIS.EDU> To: PACS-L@LISTSERV.UH.EDU Reply-to: Public-Access Computer Systems Forum <PACS-L@LISTSERV.UH.EDU> Message-id: <8DD31AE07607D511B1E70002B31FCB041363E6@eagle.pb.uiuc.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" It's becoming relatively common lately for a state to provide central funding for access to full text databases for all the state's residents. Programs like LiLI in Idaho (http://www.lili.org/), Pioneer in Utah (http://pioneer.lib.ut.us/), Indiana's Inspire (http://www.inspire-indiana.net/), and the Kentucky Virtual Library (http://www.kyvl.org/) are just a few examples of such programs. Other programs offer widespread access to a segment of a state's library community, e.g., the Illinois Digital Academic Library (http://www.idal.illinois.edu/) offers centrally funded full text databases to faculty, staff and students at 150 Illinois colleges and universities. Projects like these have been going on for a number of years now, and I am curious about how the availablity of such "free" full text resources has impacted local library electronic resource selection, and how it has impacted the way full text database aggregators do business. I'd really be interested in hearing from librarians and vendors about how the availablity of "free" full text resources has changed the electronic resources landscape. Thanks!
