thoughts of this group... How do you feel about making your research
work available digitally, either on CD or on an appropriate web
site? For a fee or for free? I'm positive that none of you would
have problems obtaining research this way. I'll hold my thoughts
until I hear from others.

I'd hate to burst anyone's bubble, but from a fudiciary standpoint
there is no money in writing books about coins - when is the last
time you saw one on the best seller's list?
On the other hand I would also want some rights to my own ideas and
images, even if through a secondary source, such as CNL, and would be
leary about every Tom, Dick and Harriet pirating copies. Since I
already know that I'm never going to get rich writing about coins I
simply leave such matters to my editor.
Only cataloguers can make a living writing about coins and that's not
necessarily because of what they know but usually because of what
they've heard. ;-) <S>
