In IU's implementation, Suzy will access itunes in a particular site.  iTunes loads for the one site, but there is a link (Indiana U) that will take the user to a page that has logical groupings off all the sites (Fa09 courses, featured podcasts, project sites, portfolio sites, ect).  Suzy is able to access any of that content.
