On behalf of a colleague, does anyone have any information to share
about problems encountered on the loan of computer books that include a
CD-ROM as part of the package? These books include complicated licensing
agreements and it is not clear if libraries can loan the CD.
We have sort advice from our legal department and they could only
recommend taking the easy option which is to loan the book but not the
CD-ROM. This is not satisfactory for either staff or customers. we want
to be able to loan out the complete package but do not want to break any
licensing agreement.
Replies off list please, I will summarise the replies for the list if
requested.
Many thanks
Eileen Hume
