You have all said so many good thing that I emailed to start a trial...They 
said it would only be $500 for us, which would be great.

Can they access the instituitional membership from home, or is it in-library 
use only?

We have an institutional subscription and love it, because our patrons that 
have used it love it!   We find it affordable which many of these are not on 
our limited budget. One thing that makes it worthwhile for us, is that our 
patrons can search it from home with the basic registration and get the 
preview images to see if it is really what they want, then come into the 
Heritage Room and download the images using our subscription.

One of the series we are particularly happy to see being digitized is the 
Southern Claims Commission records.  These have really great information and 
the St. Louis County Library has a really good guide online as to how to use 
them.   These can be really helpful for African American researchers.  SLCL 
also has the descriptive pamphlet online at their web site. To learn more 
about these go to http://www.slcl.org/branches/hq/sc/jkh/sc_jkh_fd.htm
Ruth Ann Hager has spent much time working in the Southern Claims Commission 
records and made it easier for us to use. 

I am willing to wait for the high quality images, but it does require 
patience.   I also have enjoyed working with our representative, very 
accessible when we have had problems with the state server.
