"Iris came up through the ranks in the information industry and earned her place as one of the most knowledgeable people in that industry, especially with respect to marketing, sales, and product development. When she started Unlimited Priorities, I had some doubts as to how well a company that was established to help other companies take advantage of industry opportunities would be received. In typical Iris fashion, however, her persistence and boundless energy wiped away all potential objections, and her company has flourished for the past 10 years. Congratulations and best wishes to Iris and Unlimited Priorities."
– Tom Hogan, President and CEO, Information Today, Inc.
"Unlimited Priorities is always there to help you with those projects that need to get done, but you can't find the time or resources. High quality and reliable. Thank you for all you have done over the last 10 years, Iris!
– Mary Sauer Games, Vice President, Product Management, OCLC
"Unlimited Priorities has flourished in a space where most—almost all—fail. It's really a testament to Iris Hanney's grit and sales chops that this idea took root, sprouted, and ultimately flowered. It's also an interesting paradox that the skill-set that it takes to sell Unlimited Priorities' services to customers is the very same skill-set that those customers need—sales, persistence, management savvy, and extensive industry connections. Congratulations Iris on a job well done."
– Mark Sandler, Director, Center for Library Initiatives, Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC)
I have worked with Iris for over thirty years, as a client, vendor and friend. We have crossed paths and worked together quite frequently during our careers. One would be hard pressed to find someone not only with the breadth of knowledge, but also the depth of knowledge Iris has in the publishing industry. She has the unbridled desire to provide the best possible solution to her clients utilizing the latest methods and technologies available. She truly cares about her clients and the work she produces. It has been a pleasure to work with Iris at Unlimited Priorities and congratulations on 10 years of success!

They also revised our conversion process – both production and costs – ,and coordinated our IT processes including upgrading our interface and navigation systems and moving us into the latest COUNTER environment. Their ongoing involvement has resulted in sustained growth, both in sales and in our database offerings."
– Tom Nagy, COO, Accessible Archives, Inc.
"Unlimited Priorities understands the library world well, working with its members to ensure cost effective acquisitions. They are adept at creative pricing solutions, and ask our community for advice when involved with something that will affect us directly such as creating effective user support materials or a licensing agreement. Much of their success is a result of close interaction with librarians, tapping into our experience and knowledge in order to gain a better insight of our requirements."
– Robert Murdoch, Assistant University Librarian for Collections & Technical Services Administration Brigham Young University
"The ARTFL Project has worked with Unlimited Priorities over the past decade on a variety of scholarly projects with widely divergent technical requirements and work processes. One of the great strengths of UP is their expertise which allows them adapt to our wide ranging requirements and to deliver cost effective solutions which directly benefit both our collaborators and our user community."
