Would site license programs be reserved only for the revered faculty? :)
Wouldn't students, postdocs, lab technicians, and staff use it too?
Wouldn't that increase the number of necessary copies if a dept were
to standardize its referencing to more than 50?  Or are students considered
non-persons? :-)

Anyways, I think it's a great program; so I went ahead an paid for one
program for myself on a grad student's stipend.  It's not that expensive.
For the mac, MacConnection or MacWarehouse sells it for around $145 (at
least they did a couple of years ago).

Now I'm happy regardless of what our department gets around to doing.
(we're not that organized and cohesive, anyways, IMHO)
