Check out Adam Matthew Publications at
http://www.adam-matthew-publications.co.uk/index.aspx 

Thier products are very useful as primary research, 
and the payment is a one-shot deal.  Excellent for 
history and gender studies programs.  We
are consdiering the Empire Online product as a 
way to use up unused funds at year end.

Subject:  Best one-time purchase recommendations

Hi,
  
We have one-time funds available to us this year 
which our Dean would prefer to see expended on 
something other than books.  Would anyone
out there be willing to recommend any outstanding 
digital purchases they have made in the past couple 
of years?  Journal backfiles/archives? 
Retrospective Indexes?  Statistical data packages?  
The only restriction isthat the purchase should 
involve minimal or no maintenance fees. 
UTC is primarily an undergraduate institution so 
we are looking for purchasesthat provide the widest 
possible coverage of disciplines or subjects 
pertinent to UG programs.

I would welcome any suggestions.  As usual, please 
respond directly to me. 

Thanks.
