From an old postcard of Millers’s Smorgasbord (on the Lincoln Highway east of Lancaster, Pennsylvania) we see the sign that stands over the scrumptious buffet welcoming all patrons at the restaurant: “Eat Yourself Full, Leave Your Plate Empty.” The notion is simple, take what you can eat but do not waste food. But in many ways, the whole premise of a buffet is the ability to try, sample, nibble, and experiment with foods that you might not order otherwise order. And we all pay the same, even if we are a college football offensive lineman with a legendary appetite. It is this conundrum that leads us into problems between libraries and the database vendors. Librarians scramble to keep the balance between the students’ needs of getting and analyzing data with the vendors’ needs to keep the systems working and not to be overburdened with royalty payments to the publishers. Increasingly, we see faculty and students wanting to download more data, but vendors too quick to install restrictions out of intellectual property concerns. In this “Eat Yourself Full” database environment, our students and faculty want to download more and more to analyze and interpret on their own. The presenters will explore the issues of downloading caps and other obstacles at the business libraries of three large U.S. public universities (Illinois, Michigan, and UCLA). Among the topics discussed will be the topics that drive this research, the types of resources they wish to use, the impact of the limits imposed on the students and faculty, and the workarounds that connected the user to the data that they needed. Much has been written about buffet pricing and consumption. Brian Wansink (Cornell University) has conducted many studies of consumers at allyou-can-eat Chinese Buffets. In these observations of consumers, the studies looked at the estimated Body Mass Index (BMI) along with observed behaviors at the restaurants. These include: size of the plate used (large vs. small), facing the buffet or facing away, sitting at a table or at a booth, using chopsticks or a fork, and browsing the buffet first or serving immediately. None of Wansink’s studies dwell on the quality or taste of the food, but they did record the leftovers on the plate (ranging from 6% to 10% of food content [Wansink & Payne, 2008; Wansink & Shimizu, 2013; Wansink, 2010]).
