Stephanie-
I work in an academic library.  So far, we have received few cd's with
periodicals.  Most of our cd's are ordered separately and are only
available on our LAN or already setup on a standalone.  However, the few
we have received with paper subscriptions we have tattletaped with
special CD tattletapes that work with our system.  We then put them in a
separate, labeled box right next to the paper copies on the shelf.  This
system is not ideal as patrons have to go to DOCS to find a computer that
they can use to read the CDs and most likely have to go to a reference
librarian to find out that.  However, it's the best we have come up with
for our limited use.  I hope this helps.
