[Genealib] Ancestry Library Edition Subscriptions

[ECole at oakville.ca]

I'm looking into how most libraries, especially those in the US and 
provinces outside of Ontario, purchase their subscriptions to Ancestry 
Library Edition?  Are there subscriptions purchased at the State or 
Provincial level for all libraries in that state/province?  Are libraries 
purchasing their subscriptions via other consortia or individually?  Is 
access only available in-library or does remote access exist in your 
library?

With the amount of Canadian content being added, I've had a number of 
patrons asking about having access via our library rather than taking out 
a personal subscription.  Our neighbouring library systems who do have it 
charge non-resident fees for access to their libraries, so it's garnering 
a lot of attention for our community.

Warmest regards,

Elise
