What libraries are making FirstSearch available to patrons at no charge?
We are especially interested in comments re: patron satisfaction,
procedural/policy problems, ILL impact and reaction, and other praise or
pitfalls from medium-sized college libraries. Rhode Island College has
7,000 fte students, 350 faculty, and 400,000 volumes. We are contemplating
no charge access to some databases and would appreciate any feedback.
Many, many thanks!
