who uses lib. lan databases?

[Roselle_Weiner <r_weiner@SACAM.OREN.ORTN.EDU>]

<<grump>>

when i started the lan and the internet here at my school, it was based
only in the library and software that is traditionally library was used
here: encyclopedias, atlases, magazine article abstracts, etc. things that
we needed here.  We bought licenses for 4 8 or 10 users and now we have
about 10 machines that can access these databases.  HOWEVER, we just got a
new cd rom server that is going to make the softawre accessible all over
the campus.  folks who use one database around there rarely log out of
it...what is going to happen to the 4 user or 8 user databases if
classrooms are logged into these programs and folks in the library can't
use them!

am i  being too possessive?  backward?  or just in a bad mood and not
thinking too
clearly?

your feedback most welcome!

thankx
