  I just received another flier for The Best Books for Academic Libraries 
(College Library Edition this time, only 5 volumes) - I remember some 
questions posted about this set months back... According to OCLC, 212 
libraries have purchased the set so far (the full 10 volume set). For those 
of you who have purchased the set - has this been a useful purchase? I 
remember most libraries were concerned about the reliability of the 
publisher Best Books, Inc. Any problems with them? Has anyone sprung for 
the College Library Edition yet? This would be a great resource for us... 
as long as it's a great resource! Any information or opinions will be 
appreciated!

Thanks,
Beth Horn
