I was irritated last week to open a package from M-H with a disk and a
note that they will no longer be producing the print Law Digest. Of
course, there was an additional note that concurrent network licensing
was available at a further cost. It's interesting to note that of all
the print resources that I am reviewing for replacement by online
resources, the steady use of the Law Digest in print has kept me from
thinking about it as a candidate for weeding (though the law directories
certainly are). I would have been happier to pay for the print than the
online for this. I did call to ask about the licensing (apparently I can
install this on our network and it will allow one user at a time to use,
which may be enough)
If they are going to keep printing the directories, why not the law
digest? When I called, the rep told me they had "taken a vote". I guess
we aren't the electorate here. Or maybe everyone else is shouting
hallelujah that's finally available online. I'd just like the option to
get the print, or at least the chance to have both concurrently. Can
anyone shed any light on this development?
