Alumni access to databases
From:  "Ingersoll, Jared" <jared.ingersoll_at_Vanderbilt.Edu>

All,

I am investigating alumni access to database services.  Our campus alumni relations office 
opened the discussion with direct reference to ProQuest and I will be grateful for any 
direct experience on that front.  I would also like to ask more broadly about costs, 
licensing complications and any other issues that may arise in entertaining such a 
proposition.

I will be glad to receive information off-list and return a summary to the list at the end 
of next week.

Many thanks in advance!
