Reader of the Packs: What's in those hanging CD‐ROM strips?

Abstract

If you frequent computer or software stores, you must have seen them: 5ft. 10 PAKs, One Stop CD‐Shops, and other packs offering ten or more assorted CD‐ROMs for around $30. Some of these multipacks may be useful for libraries and librarians, either for back‐office or personal use or, possibly, at multimedia workstations that patrons can use. The author refers to another article that discusses the “philosophy” of these multipacks. In this article, the author goes through 42 CD‐ROMs in some detail and mentions another 20, speeding through quick comments on six multipacks.
