Why should they get their own copies and bring them to work? If an employee can do a better job when he has access to those books, it is in the company's best interest, and therefore the company should be the one supplying the books, not the employee. The same applies for skills and knowledge, BTW. For example, stuff I learn from my CompSci studies might be useful at work sometimes as well, but I refuse to apply that knowledge because my employer refuses to pay for it. :-( Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
