Re: Online services to contiguous research parts

Paula,

I haven't dealt with this particular situation, but recently I've received
inquiries from biotech and other technology companies about gaining access
to the California Digital Library licensed collections. I am beginning to
look at whether this is a feasible service for us to provide (on a cost
recovery-basis).  I'd be interested to hear from you about your forays
into this arena.
