----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thanks for raising this subject, Amanda. My problem is with the advertised price (US$5,955) which converts in Canadian funds to around $9,000. Pretty hard to justify, especially on top of Art Index which clocks in at around CDN$2,250. Did H.W. Wilson do any research on consumer price resistance? Karen *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Karen McKenzie Chief Librarian E.P.
