Hi Janet.  Thanks so much for your response. 


We haven't formalized our workflow to the same extent that you have 
(we've been sending an informal email to the publisher to verify that 
SERU can be used in a given instance, and then we create a publisher 
folder with copies of that information for our files).  Would you be 
willing to share your template letter (and/or ERM template)? 


I am starting to appreciate the fact that it would be better to spell 
out our authorized user definition and site definition so that they are 
clear to the publisher, either in the initial email we send, or in a 
template letter that includes that information (and perhaps other 
information as well).   I'd love to see what you've come up with.

Thanks in advance!
Selden
