Off-the-shelf educational uses of CD-I, especially aimed at college-age
people, are few.  Librarians familiar with the many commercial offerings
in CD-ROM format will be disappointed by the general unavailability of
subject-specific Compact Disc-Interactive for college libraries.  What
discs that have been turned out are, to the best of my knowledge,
"home-grown";  that is, they were developed by an academic department
at a particular university in support of teaching and are not marketed
outside the parent institution.
