Re: Online services to contiguous research parts

[Lorraine Busby <lbusby@lib.uwo.ca>]

The Research Park affiliated with the University of Western Ontario
regularly requests access to library resources, in particular, our
electronic resources. We do not have a good solution as some of our
faculty work both on campus and at/ or with researchers at the Research
Park.  I too am very interested in any models for serving them.
