We have adopted EndNote Plus as our schoolwide standard bibliographic software
and are running demonstrations and training sessions for staff and students.

One message that comes back time and again is that users are impressed by what
they see but will only use such a tool it they can do so *at home* - because
that is where they tend to do work such as compiling bibliographies, typing
essays etc.

Such users ask how much it would be to buy a copy of EndNote Plus for
themselves, then balk at the price. A straw poll of users suggests that the
maximum prices people might be prepared to pay are:-

    For staff, lecturers etc.   100 ukp
    For students                 50 ukp

Is anybody else trying to promote use of EndNote and experiencing similar
reactions?

I really think that there are some high volume sales waiting to be made, and
that Niles could work out a strategy to do this and still protect their
existing profit margins. What do others think?
