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.

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 Beth E.
