Subject: C.D ROMS
Further on to yesterdays request for help in getting the 1881 census loaded ont
o the hard drive, I thought I`d explain why we wanted to do it! We are increas
ingly being given, or buying more CD ROMS and it has been putting more pressure
on searchroom staff to produce them to the public. We thought the solution wo
uld be to save them onto the hard drive but I`ve since discovered that we shoul
d be having a little more faith in the general public! It was interesting to d
iscover that other offices are letting punters have open access to the C.D`s al
ong with fiche, film etc... and I wondered how common this is, and what securit
y issues have been encountered/solutions found etc.
Thanks,
Alison Drew
