I, too, think <em>premium</em> sounds better than <em>proprietary</em> because of the dual value-add connotations of <em>premium</em>. (Both the commercial -- proprietary -- resources and the curated resources we create ourselves.) You're right...the notion of <strong>adding value</strong>, a marketing function of sorts, is the kind of thing we need to do to make our services seem indispensable to our patrons.

This is exactly the type of marketing strategy libraries need to get ahead. I use proprietary, but premium sounds better. Trying to find a way to translate free content through the library databases is very tricky. Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly the type of marketing strategy libraries need to get ahead.
