INTELECOM currently has agreements/offers in place with VALE and the California Community College League library consortium for our VOD service and repository. And we've been in discussions with Lyrasis, SCELC, Orbis Cascade, CARLI, VIVA, Amigos as well. If there are other consortia INTELECOM should be speaking with, I hope the list will please let us know.
For years we worked with distance learning consortia (e.g. CODE, NILRC) for our telecourse products, which allowed us to extend group buy discounts. And we would welcome the opportunity to do the same thing for our video repository working with library consortia. Cameron Cox INTELECOM ## Another thought: seems to me that delivery from a remote distributor's server makes arrangements such as consortial and regional buying increasingly feasible... Our distributor friends need to be thinking about the pricing models for such arrangements which are both realistic and scalable.
