    I have a question for the wisdom of the list. We are on the ABA Package Plan, and for the first time we received a book that came with the full text on a flash drive. (We got both the book and the flash drive.) This would clearly be great for an individual, but as an academic law library, we're not sure what to do with it.
     
    My thought was to put it in a CD slip and keep it in the media cabinet with the CDs, and put a note in the record that it is available. I don't imagine it will last long.
     
    What has anyone else done with these? I will summarize for the list.
