Journal on CD

[Kondla, Norbert FOR:EX]

Absolutely, and also how wonderful it would be if digital technology can be
used to have CD's and/or websites of original descriptions and color images
of holotypes that are sitting in various institutions around the world and
are for all practical purposes inaccessible due to travel costs.  If this
could be done yesterday that would be even better yet. Just my favorite
whine due to the contortions I go through to get old literature while
enjoying life out here in the middle of nowhere :-)

Lepsters,
We recently received the Coleopterists' Bulletin, Vols. 1-53;
1947-1999, here at ODA.  It is all on 1 CD, saved as PDF files.  Are
there any plans to do something like this for the Lep Soc Journal in
the near future.  It would also be great to see other publications
put into this media format, especially some of the harder to find
ones like "Proceedings" of various large museums that sometimes have
species descriptions going back to the 1800's.  And what a space
saver!
 
Cheers, Rich
