Request for elaboration.… Is this at the scale of a university library or is there only access for a few select journals, etc? This stuff is expensive… I would be somewhat impressed if SIAI had full access, comparable to a research university. Also, I would be curious as to what part of your budget must be dedicated just to this information access? (Although I guess I could understand if this information is private.)
In practice, enough of us retain online library access through our former universities that we can reach the articles we need reasonably easily. Almost everything is online.
If this ceases to be the case, we’ll probably buy library privileges through Stanford, San Jose State, or another nearby university.
Do you mean that only those individuals who have UC logins have access to the online journals (JSTOR, etc.)? That would mean that you retain those privileges for only as long as the UC maintains your account. In my experience, that isn’t forever.
ETA: I have to correct myself, here. They terminated my e-mail account, but I just discovered that I can still log into some UC servers and access journals through them.
It is forever if you have a lifetime alumnus membership, which goes for $500 at UC Berkeley if purchased right after graduation. I assume other universities have similar deals.
