Hi Peter, In my opinion, nope. What you might just do though, is place a permanent note in your ILS on the item record that 1 particular disc is missing and continue to circulate it without the missing part. Given that a music set is still usable without a volume, unlike an audiobook. ~Sara Sara Karow Centralized Floating Coordinator Houston Public Library | Library Materials Services 500 McKinney St., Houston, TX 77002 Office: 832-393-1480 | Email: Sara.Karow_at_HoustonTX.gov<mailto:Sara.Karow_at_HoustonTX.gov> [cid:image002.png_at_01CEE79E.DA0F2E00] We link people to the world.

From: acqnet-request_at_lists.ala.org [mailto:acqnet-request_at_lists.ala.org] On Behalf Of Peter Thornell Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2017 10:58 AM To: acqnet_at_lists.ala.org Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Question about CD circulation and copyright I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this, but I wanted to get a more official verdict. We circulate a particular 6-CD set of Frank Sinatra music that has recently lost one of the discs. The set is now out of print, so I can't afford to purchase another set at the now "collectible" rate prices. I do have access to the music from the lost CD, however, and someone suggested I simply make a copy of that lost CD content and circulate with the other 5 official CD's. This would obviously solve our problem of having an incomplete set - and we never circulate incomplete sets - but I'm fairly certain I would not be allowed to do this. If you, or anyone you're aware of, can give me a more official answer to this question, I would greatly appreciate it!
