Group, There is actually a precedent for all this. It is called an "Inter-Library Loan" and librarians do it all the time, including corporate librarians. It works like this:
I need a document, say a EUROPEAN STANDARD. Your Company Library has it. I ask my librarian to ask your librarian for it. If it is ok with your company, your librarian sends it LIBRARY TO LIBRARY, complete with receipts, accountability, and a paper trail. My librarian then checks it out to me, and I become responsible for it. Now I can't just keep it, because it is due back on a certain date and my librarian will get after me to return it. This is what librarians do, and it works. Lou --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
