I have tried for over a year to puchase access to WSJOnline for our campus. I have yet to speak to someone who could help me. I get transferred and transferred and then told, 'oh, we'll pass this on to XYZ department & they'll call you back.' NOT! I have also emailed several times and always get back a canned response and no one responds to my direct queries. The long and short of it is, while you can purchase a site license in blocks of 50, with 100 as the starting point, it's still tied to individual users with logins. This is not acceptable to us. We have a small school of business, less than 500 students, and if I purchased 100 simultaneous users, I sincerely doubt we'd ever go over that. Yet, they don't want to sell it to us because they want it tied to individual users. We also get WSJ through ProQuest, but there are more features on WSJOnline that my faculty wanted. Heck of a way to do business for a business journal. I guess they don't want my money. Marynelle Chew Head, Technical Services Joseph F.

The secret to using it was extracting the files from our catalog with a report and then running them through a "mail2text" program that kept the "links alive". I haven't run it for quite some time. We spent some time hunting to find the right programs to get it to work. (So you might have to invest some time rather than money). It is fast and does work. However, it only shows the links work, not that they are going to the correct location! E-mail me directly if you have any specific questions. Vernell Ward Library Serials OBU Box 61309 500 W.

Interesting. We have access to Wall Street Journal online, with IP recognition, from two sources: 1) Proquest and 2) as a part of a database subscription to EBSCOhost Academic Elite. I am surprised you are having a problem. Of course, I did not go direct to the publisher. Good luck.
