I can see where this idea is quite appealing. As an alternative, I have been able to offer my clients (museum and university librarians) another option. I can exchange credit towards my inventory of 13,000 titles online and on my website (with an additional 15,000+ volumes not catalogued) for these duplicate or out-of-scope materials. This also can extend to my performing searches for the titles that are not in my inventory and acquiring them for my customers. These economic times call for thinking outside the box, and I am pleased to be in a position where I can assist those who assist me stay in business by offering novel solutions to budget limitations.I love this idea - and it's green too!
