Extra: Tell us about the process that IUP went through to create this publishing platform?
Caras: We’ve been dreaming about it for a long time. We’ve been subleasing our content. We’ve been aware of the capability and the problems that can go along with doing this. About a year ago we started thinking this [through] seriously. We came into the budget process for this fiscal year. We wrote a proposal to the director of the press. We did a budget. We had done research on server providers. So we had all of our ducks in a row, so to speak. We gave her the project, and she gave us the money to do it. We’ve been working physically on creating this site since May of last year. It took us seven months to populate the pages.
