I must have missed your original e-mail, but we have ScienceDirect pay
per view for faculty, and it has worked out very well.  We occasionally
have a report of a technical glitch (can't download, for example) but
we've been able to get most of these problems resolved quickly via the
SD Help Desk.  The number of article downloads has been very reasonable,
and you can set up alerts for when the deposit account runs low.  We
provide access via a department login/password, and we require that the
faculty be on our network as well.  Please let me know if you have
questions about this.

Subject: [SERIALST] Setting Up Pay-Per-View

Last month I posted the message below and got only one response (thankyou,
Tracey Thompson). Can anyone suggest a more appropriate forum for the
query?

Are there any libraries willing to share "lessons learned" from setting
upa pay-per-view service for their users?  We are concerned about
providing easy access while also maintaining some degree of control over
the costs.

We are a special library, looking primarily into ScienceDirect as a
start.

Thanks for any suggestions.
