[CASL-L] Databases - report

[Vaghini, T]

I agree. I'm looking for research on database subscriptions so I have a
short list of likely candidates from which to work to meet the needs of my
teachers. Like the situation you describe, I'd like to do my best to avoid
a situation in which we purchase and abandon. Thanks for clarifying.
