    We've been contemplating getting Reference USA for our 650-student law school. However, the pricing we agreed on gives us only a one-computer license. I suspect many students and faculty will forgo using it if they can't access it from their desktops. And if that's the case, I'm not at all sure we should get it.
     
    What has been your experience with RefUSA? If you are in an academic library and/or have a one-computer license, do you find that patrons use it?
     
    Thanks very much for any advice,
