Have any librarians out there used DeLorme's Street Atlas USA
on CD-ROM for reference purposes? I ordered a copy for my own use at
home, and being pleased with it, I was considering getting it for the
public service floor of the library until I read the licensing agree-
ment, which seems very restrictive to me. The part that worries me
refers to a prohibition on "publicly displaying" or providing information
to persons other than employees of your business. That seems to put
anything but special libraries beyond the pale.
