----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Eileen: I was merely trying to point out that the apparent analogy in the original statement was erroneous and weakened the argument. The information that libraries put on their local networks (OPACs) describing (cataloging) books is not analogous to the image of a slide on a network. In fact, the descriptive information prepared by libraries, including I assume slide libraries, is owned by the library. What is being described - book or image - is another issue. Ann -- Ann B.
