**Please excuse any cross-postings**

Hello, 

I edit The Charleston Report, "A publication written for publishers, 
vendors, product developers, merchandisers, and wholesalers who are 
interested in expanding their library market."  For the TCR Surveys 
column, I would like to provide information on providing database 
access to alumni and/or retired faculty/staff. 

I am including a link to a short survey (eight questions) on the 
topic but I am also listing the questions at the bottom of this 
message if you care to respond to me via email (off-list please at
devoek_at_cofc.edu). All survey responses are confidential.  If you 
have time, please respond to any or all of the questions and if you 
care to add anything feel free, as the purpose of this column is to 
find out what librarians think.  The survey is intended to be 
informal and your participation is appreciated.
