[Herts] Open source CDs in libraries

[stormeagle at ntlworld.com]

Well, there are problems, but they can be overcome... the report author
points out the need to used pressed CDs, not CDRs. I would imagine this is
more expensive though.

But he mentions in one line of the PDF that he sent them out to 3500
libraries in Britain, so I wonder what happened there, nothing shows on an
ALS search at hertsdirect. Probably still stuck in cataloguing

Oli

ps, the library system online is great... you can sit at home and reserve a
book!

Good idea, but there would be problems, like:

http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=89371&cid=7727856

But this is a jolly idea :)
