Re: Cost of Electronic Resources - a pricing model 

The purcahse of concurrent users only works if:

1) the product itself monitors the number and prevents any additional
   unlicensed use; OR

2) The site has the ability to control the number of concurrent users.

Our site cannot always do the controlling depending on the form of access. 
For example, controlling concurrent users of a web-based resource like
STAT-USA. Their end can't control the acces and neither can our.
