Hi-

Our library is considering purchasing a version of Citrix Metaframe for
Win2000, and I'd like to know if any academic libraries out there have 
any experience with using this product to provide remote (WWW) search
access to a collection of  locally mounted windows and DOS cd-rom 
databases. We have such a collection of cd-rom disks that are
currently available only to computers connected to our campus ethernet,
and our goal is to try and consolidate access to these databases using 
one interface for all local and remote users.  Any impressions, good 
or bad, regarding any aspect of installing, testing, maintaining, and
supporting the product would be useful.


Thanks a lot,

Jim
