This is ridiculous. Pretty soon we are going to have to pay $99 for a
report that used to cost us $1. It's pretty clear that AALL is
hamstrung on this kind of issue. What can we do about these things?
Do we as individual librarians need to take a more activist role? What
can we do?
Thanks,

I know many people migrated from Accurint to Choicepoint because of
Accurint's outrageous price increases... expect the same outrageous
increases from Choicepoint... Monoploy is not just a board game...

Subject: [LAW-LIB:54784] Reed Elsevier to Acquire Choicepoint
From a LexisNexis news release (2/21/08)
I am pleased to let you know that earlier today our parent company, Reed
Elsevier Group plc, announced its intention to acquire ChoicePoint Inc.,
a leading provider of identification and credential verification
services to individuals, businesses, and governments. ChoicePoint will
be combined with our Risk & Information Analytics Group, the unit that
currently serves your business needs. (Additional text omitted).
LN already owns Accurint...does this mean that Accurint and AutoTrack
will merge someday..?
