[Genealib] No more remote access to HQ

[Laura Spurrier]

Hi, all:
	Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter announced today that  
ProQuest will no longer permit genealogy societies to offer remote  
access to Heritage Quest (after expiration of current contracts).   
This is going to hurt genealogy societies nationwide a lot --  
offering HQ helps draw new members.  The announced reason for doing  
so seems specious:  PQ says it is losing money on this highly popular  
service.  That just means they failed to price it correctly, and that  
can be changed.  In turn, gen. societies can raise their dues a bit.
	Does anyone out there want to organize some sort of protest?  At  
least add your opinion to Dick's blog:  http://blog.eogn.com/ 
eastmans_online_ genealogy/.  Thanks.
