    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...

    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..?
