Thanks much, Kelcy. I do have your response and I appreciate your help.
I haven't had responses from many people at all. I wonder if there are
that many people using consortial arrangements for EAD encoding? If
they are primarily large shops with a lot of tech support who therefore
don't need to consider this kind of arrangement, or are very small shops
like mine who haven't implemented yet.... it's interesting.
Best,
Amy
