I would also like to note that LIS schools will now be charged for
access to the Toolkit. In my case this will make it very difficult to
provide access to the Toolkit for my students. I am not sure why ALA
Publishing decided to require LIS schools to purchase access but I
know I will have to find alternative ways to provide access for my
students.

Well, I guess your students will come to understand the term "monopoly".
Of course, when the time comes for retrospective conversion of the
millions of records in that awful, terrible "legacy data" to update the
relators and relationships, *that* is when libraries will see the major
costs.
And I am sure there will be other sundry costs thrown in along the way.
