Acquisitions of independent databases by major vendors

["Ivy Anderson" <Ivy.Anderson@ucop.edu>]

A colleague who is not a subscriber to this list is attempting to 
identify individuals or organizations that monitor trends 
affecting small independent databases - especially those owned 
and made available through universities or other non-profit 
entities - and tracks the acquisitions of these products by the 
larger commercial vendors.  If anyone knows any good sources of 
market intelligence in this area, please respond to me off-list 
and I will share the information with my colleague.

Best,
