Although not in California, the NOBLE (the North of Boston Library
Exchange) Consortium is using EbscoHost and likes it very much.  We did a
use studey based on the EbscoHost titles and if full-text titles were not
being used in their print versions, we have cancelled them.  We have
cancelled 20% of our collection.  So far there have been few
repurcussions, but time may tell.
