    That would be something to ask them about.  A quick look at their 
site lead me to this page: 
http://www.proquest.com/en-US/products/dissertations/dexplib.shtml where 
it says $30 for academic libs.  Copyright 2009, but no indication of 
when the page was last edited. If they've raised their rates, they're 
hiding it pretty well.
