Re: lexis (and tuna's comments)



I have thoroughly researched the LEXUS question at three separate institutions 
with three separate sales reps.  There is absolutely NO WAY that the programs I 
have coached could afford LEXUS at the commercial rate.  I also have offered to 
pay the higher "library" rate - again LEXUS said NO WAY.  The basic issue is 
fairness.  There are NOT EQUAL alternatives and anyone who thinks so should 
sell their LEXUS license to me.  I'll make a standing buy offer.  There is 
clearly a system of have's and have not's.  Could it be that the have's are 
unwilling to discuss fairness issues and equal access because they are the 
have's and not the have not's??? All we're asking for is a level playing field.
