Subject: Marking CD's
There has been extensive discussion of this issue on MLA-L, the mailing list of the Music Library Association. Their archives are available from LISTSERV@IUBVM. (A gentle reminder: sending a note or message to MLA-L@IUBVM will be distributed to the entire membership of about 270. Send your archive requests to LISTSERV, not MLA-L.) As I recall, the consensus of opinion was that no marking was guaranteed not to harm the CD, though many libraries were marking the clear inner ring in some way. **** Moderator's comments: In the horrifying eventuality that there is anyone out there who doesn't know how to search listserv databases, send me a message and I'll help you get started.
