Using LinkedIn to identify jobs held by college alumni

[NatWooding]

Pardon me if this is off-topic but it would seem to fit into the SAS/IR sphere. I'm in a college Institutional Research group and we are often asked questions about how graduates are employed.I do have access to state employment data but that only involves those covered by workman's comp so those who are self-employed and many professionals are invisible to me. My office has received teaser offers from firms that apparently harvest LinkedIn records so I know that someone is gaining access to them but so far I have not found any way to log into their site and legally download information. Has anyone done anything like this?
