Since we already have a process for housing CD-s that come with books
separately, this kind of request hasn't been so difficult for us. We have
bought a couple of similar software CD-s like this from departmental
materials funds. In each case there was an OCLC record for the title that
we downloaded into our catalog so it can be easily located by searchers.
We process the item similarly to other CD-s, attaching a bar code and
call# to the package. Then it is available for checkout and use just like
our other CD's, DVDs, etc.
