Just to add, I asked Wayne about this sort of thing in a conversation recently and he did say that, unless their was a special reason for their inclusion, he'd stopped holding onto magazines and cds, because they got out of date so quickly.
Cheers Peter,
Yes I think I have decided that what with the prevalence of broadband now the value of these Magazine coverdiscs is dubious when they are new let alone when they are 6 months + old. Pretty much the same is true for the Magazines IMHO, once they are 6 months old 80% of the content is completely irrelevant.
That said if someone can see the potential value in having an archive available of such things it is of course now possible to add them to the Library themselves (assuming they have somewhere to store them)
On a mostly related note, The library now offers the location of the item if you click on it to view details, so if it is with a borrower/lender it shows their Town/County.
The one slight issue is that when I first set it up I went to great lengths to remove the required field address entry on the sign up pages of opendb and now I want it I cannot find the bodgery that achieved that..quips about cowboys who don't bother commenting the code or keeping a virgin version will be accepted humbly. When I get time I will take another look (or perhaps run a diff on the original opendb code if the same version is sill available for download)
