- Bowker Book Analysis – approximately 30 members went with Syndetic Solutions; IWU has the Book Analysis product (useful but not a good interface); proposal rejected at this time

- (Tom) – Premier Collection proposal is through U of I purchasing; complex offer dependent partially upon a library’s current Sage holdings; most questions to date have been sent direct to Sage;
- 60% of the FTE must be represented; includes the FTE of those who already own the Backfile and that is near 50%
- This is a flip model and those buying print or working with a Serial agent there would be a real time crunch in getting things ordered in time online and then getting only certain titles in print
