I am in the final stages of making a purchase decision for a new 65-70 position language lab. Upon recently meeting with my university's head purchasing agent I was asked if I was aware of other schools in the state of Michigan who were going through a similar process of shopping language labs. Apparently the theory goes, if we were able to team up with other schools within the state, known as a "consortium purchase," all involved schools would benefit by improved pricing. Many thanks in advance for any information you may have. David David Westerhof-Shultz Director, Language Resource Center Grand Valley State University Allendale, MI
