We never get bribes from our database vendors.
She was a very nice goth, but the database she wants to sell us costs 75K (with the discount -- I asked her if it came with a pony. She looked confused, so I'm guessing she's not a regular here). Apparently, Thomson got the wrong idea when we bought the first part of the database for 100K last year.
If I could have a database pony it would be Lexis' digitized Serial Set.
Ahhh....the digitized Serial Set.
Drool.
I guess I should be thankful we have paper indexes and fiche.
Like 9-12 months.
Ta very much. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...
We are buying the Serial Set, and I think we went with Lexis over Readex after MONTHS of arguing. So. Expensive.
We have the Readex, but not that much has been digitized, yet -- so, useless. If someone had asked me, I would have bought the Serial Set before the Making of Modern Law because only about 6 people use it.
Aimee, I so want that shirt too. In fact, I can think of at least one parent of an autistic person who would think it's hil-fuckin-larious.
Yay for Mg's mom being home.
Not-yay for non-sharing of cookies.
Aimee, I'm dropping you an email at your yahoo addy.
You know, I just hate that with this pricey stuff you can't just look at a price list. Even if they worked out deals with just about everyone, it would be nice to see if it were even worth exploring something.
