Subject: RE: Union List on CD (Chia-Ching Chang)

Speaking as a member of that same consortium (ACLCP)...

I just got back from the annual PALINET meeting, where they disclosed
one of their latest services, PALDB.  The company will create databases
for a fee, on CD-ROM if we want.  We were going to bring up the idea at
the ACLCP meeting, but you might want to call up PALINET ahead of time for
details.

Even though this sounds like a private message, I have puposely sent this
to SERIALST in case other readers might be interested.  PALINET is our
regional OCLC network.
