Hello Beth,

I have been dealing with them for over a year now.  We piloted it last year and 
were the first to sign on.  I'll contact you shortly to talk about it.

Hello -
Have any of you subscribed to The Paley Center for Media's iCollection for 
Colleges and Universities? If so, would be willing to share (off list) any 
thoughts or insights related to your experience providing access to this 
resource? http://www.paleycenter.org/icollection-for-colleges-and-universities

The content, which will continue to grow in volume, looks fantastic and has a 
lot of potential for many researchers and students at my university. 
Specifically, what I am looking for is some information about your experience 
or feedback from users you have had regarding how the resource actually works 
for them for their purposes. From my librarian's viewpoint, the interface and 
functionality are a little frustrating - for example -  advertisements that 
played during a particular show are listed - but there are not any times of 
when they played provided so it is difficult to find the actual commercials. 
But maybe my concerns should take a backseat to content provision?

Thanks in advance!
Beth

Read my lips:  10 grand a year!  Every year!

I've been corresponding with the Paley re this collection re this over the
past few months.  From what I can see, the collection is absolutely
fabulous (I've played around with beta access).  But!  Lordy! 10 grand a
year for single institutions!

I'm working on trying to get other UC campuses to buy in to a consortial
acquisition of this license, which would lower the price somewhat.
