CD-ROMs and Flash Drives Tracey Thompson 23 Jul 2008 15:39 UTC

Hello,

Has anyone come up with a solution for what to do with archives or content
sent on CD-ROMS?  Do you simply store them (and how do you keep track of
them), do you catalog and make available, etc.  As part of one of our
journal subscriptions we receive a complimentary copy of the conference
proceedings which we received yesterday.  In an green initiative they did
not send them out in paper format instead they used a USB drive.  After we
stopped chuckling, we stared at it in bafflement.  We have no idea what to
do with it.   It is not write protected.  I am not sure you can even write
protect a USB drive. Does anyone encountered such before, or does anyone
have any suggestions?

Thanks.
