Re: Nexis
I notice that discussions about strategies regarding dealing with Nexis by libraries are getting perilously close to becoming somewhat improper from a legal standpoint. May I point out for the benefit of all that there is sometimes a fine line between the innocent exchange of information by a group of major customers about a given supplier and an attempt or conspiracy to impact a company improperly? I suggest becoming familiar with the details of, e.g., the Robinson Patman Act. -Alan M.
