Re: digital dissertations
The last time I checked with Bell & Howell's UMI, dissertation copies were
$50-$70, so is this price a discount? If it is a discourt associated with
an institution that has a contract with UMI, then this would be a
substantial savings for folks who want dissertation copies from other
institutions.
I'd be interested in hearing whether this is a discounted price or if Bell &
Howell's prices have just gone down period.

I have used this service as a student. It is wonderful for students,
although a little pricey. I paid $24.50 for a copy of a dissertation. The
service was convenient and fast. And, I didn't have to stand at a copier
forever.
That was my only experience, but it was great.
