Just to update on my post earlier this month – conversations with the College of Business are continuing concerning the Finance databases and how best to optimize the spend in that area.  The feedback to our proposal has been that CRSP is still required, but that SIRCA is a possible cancellation candidate.  We also wish to explore whether Bloomberg can provide alternative access to any content.  The aim is to have an agreement with the College before 11th September which is when IRAG meets.
