FBIS REPORTS ON CD-ROM GOVERNED BY USE RESTRICTIONS

Depository librarians are reminded of the distribution conditions agreed
upon by GPO and FBIS regarding the FBIS Reports on compact disc.  As a
reminder to all depositories, reference is made to Administrative Notes,
vol. 18, no. 6, April 15, 1997, FBIS CD-ROM Dissemination Policy Affects
Depository Libraries <www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/ad041597.html#5>.

Federal depository libraries may make the FBIS on CD-ROM available to the
public for research.  They may do this only on a stand-alone machine, and
should not install it on a LAN.  Federal depository libraries are advised
that they may not legally permit the public to print or download the
information contained on the For Official Use Only CD-ROM.  Any other use
may result in a claim of copyright or contract infringement from the
original copyright holder(s).  Public customers should be referred to NTIS'
World News Connection Service.

Depository librarians are asked to bear in mind that due to the special
nature of this product and the extraordinary conditions in which it is
produced, violation of the agreement could jeopardize future distribution of
this very popular and useful information product.  Adherence to this policy
is mandatory.
