[Web4lib] RE: Access My Library

[Michael McCulley]

Thanks for the reminder, Alan. It's a good effort, but it has so far been
limited to those customers of Thomson-Gale that use InfoTrac, I do believe.

I'd like to see them offer this more widely, if you have *other*
Thomson-Gale databases.

And, see other vendors move in this "linkable" direction.

Best, and TGIF,
DrWeb
