Alumni access to databases?
From: "Cataldo,Tara Tobin" <tara_at_uflib.ufl.edu>

Hi,
We have access to some EBSCO databases. See http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/giving/alum_serv.html 
. I'm afraid it is all run through our development office so I don't have details on how 
the experience is going. You are welcome to contact the office for some direct information.

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!
