Re: Cost of Electronic Resources

[Deborah Wills <dwills@mach1.wlu.ca>]

Could I ask for people's opinion on the issue of vendors charging more for
remote access to databases?  At our university, users may dial in locally
from offices or labs, and those with their own computers may also choose
to dial in from home.  I'm not sure if I understand why the home access
should cost more; the same people are using the service.
