We're happy with our online access to the product.
Karen Cassedy, our library systems manager, suggests looking at
www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/access.html. Karen adds:
"It requires that you purchase the CD-Rom from Proquest and have them
e-mail University of Chicago to confirm that you own the license. They
then set their online version to allow your institution access. On the
above webpage, just below the list of institutions, it says to 'Contact
Catherine Mardikes, ETS Coordinator, at [log in to unmask] to
discuss the possibility of gaining access to the PhiloLogic version of a
database . . .'"
