I guess my response clouded a basic fact such as this with my own bitterness regarding the situation. Libraries have their own constraints, for good reason. My local public library just moved into a new building with huge empty shelf space. And their collection is such that the odds of duplicating any of it, even if I didn't check, is infinitesimal. Even in the case of Stanford, the duplications are maybe 1-2%. The practicality is such that duplications are very unlikely, simply because I receive only new CDs (for obvious reasons) and institutional acquisition cycles are slow-moving. The first time I brought material, they were justifiably apprehensive, but when much of it was material specifically on their "want" list, I think they felt like kids in a candy store. Anyway, for the public library, the attitude of the librarian in charge is such as it is. She had, quite simply, a very dim opinion of me and made that abundantly clear. Perhaps someone else would have different luck, even at the same place. Todd McComb [log in to unmask]
