RE: Nature subscriptions responses

["Harbert, Cathy" <harbertc@hhmi.org>]

The following "major" institutions responded that they were purchasing the
site licenses from Nature:

Rockefeller University Library:	Nature, Nature monthlies, and Nature
review titles

University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio:  buying thru
their U-T System Digital Library Consortium

University of Nebraska-Lincoln:  purchasing Nature Biotechnology

Rush University:  Nature Neuroscience only

A few other small organizations said that they would purchase the site
licenses, but the majority of responses from organizations in the US and
other countries were saying that they would not sign up under the present
terms.
