UPDATE: Yahoo Officially Unveils “Premium Document Search” Service
The service, which has been available for the past few weeks, is basically Northern Light via Yahoo. It’s accessible either by going to http://premium.search.yahoo.com/ OR by conducting a search via the main yahoo search interface, news search interface, or Yahoo Finance. An advanced search interface is also available. Links to “Premium Content” can be found under the “Research Documents” header on the right side of a results page or in the box labeled “Research Documents”. Content comes from Northern Light/divine’s “Special Collection” of over 7100 sources. This premium content will be available for either $2.95 per article OR $4.95 a month to view up to 50 documents
BE CAREFUL: Not ALL “Premium Content” qualifies towards the $4.95/50 document limit. Here’s a list of what does qualify.

“Consortium of 12 Universities Begins Project to Deliver Academic E-Books”
From the article, “Academic libraries and university presses at Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago have teamed up in an e-publishing venture that aims to put hundreds of scholarly books in electronic form. Last month, leaders of the 12 universities committed from $50,000 to $100,000 to develop a prototype for the joint e-publishing venture, says Tom Peters, director of the consortium’s center for library initiatives. The institutions have worked together for decades as part of a group called the Committee on Institutional Cooperation.” Also, from the article, “The electronic books would be offered at no charge to libraries within the consortium, says Mr. Peters. The consortium is also considering making the service available to other academic libraries for a fee that would help pay to run the operation, he adds.”
