The Web page is a great service and I thank OCLC for making this information available in this way. A word of caution to my PCC colleagues: read the "Terms and Conditions" of NetMind before you sign up for it. It's always a good idea to know what you're signing up for. I also applaud OCLC for making the "Terms and Conditions" so readily available. Carol Hixson Head, Catalog Dept.
