It strikes me that such a project would be one of the most valuable
contributions the AOS could make to its members. Few of us have a complete
set, or ready access to a library possessing such a set. Therefore, the
information that has been published over the years is essentially unavailable to
us. Yet the internet provides an incredibly powerful means of making the
entire set available to anyone who needs it, and the scanning technology and
associated software (Acrobat, etc.) are readily available.
Despite such advantages, I can easily imaging such a project slipping way
down on the AOS list of budget priorities. It is the kind of thing that
can always be put off until "next year."
Is there any way that orchid enthusiasts could create some indication of
demand for such a service, and convey that information to the AOS? We need
some creative thinking here.
