The Consortium Management Discussion Group had a lively discussion about dealing with the economic downturn. We hope to collect some of the ideas from that discussion and follow here on the wiki.

The site offers many many topics and many samples to evaluate. I have tried some of the Photoshop tutorials and they were excellent. We are now encouraging some of our members to evaluate it before we purchase the license.

I heard at a previous meeting that booksale shoppers use a scanning device linked to a local or online database for quick evaluation of prices for used book. I thought a consortium could buy one and lend it to members as they prepare for booksales so they can identify the most valuable items in their stock. I am not sure about licensing. Has anyone done this? Here are links to two scanners I found on the web: asellertool.com [1] scoutpal.com [2]
