I'm writing a paper on Bill Gates' Corbis Corporation for one of my
classes the Univ of MD College of Library and Info Services and would
like to get some feedback from the museum community.

It's been just about a year now since Corbis aquired the Bettmann
archive.  Do you think attitudes have changed toward Corbis and their
intentions to "build the preeminent electronic archive of great images"?

Lusaka, O'Donnell and Strand's article in the May/June '96 issue of
Museum News seemed to reflect an acceptance of Corbis.  Do you
agree?  Would you consider making a deal with Corbis?  Why or why
not?

Thanks for any input.  Messages can be sent directly to me at
