CMU-SFFS Distributed Virtual Library

This branch of the Distributed Virtual Library is not staffed at present, but will be open in the fall. The branch's holdings are mostly SF, but include general and children's fiction. (That is to say, my book list doesn't have genre tags and I don't feel like adding them.)

I will not even try to annotate the catalog as that would reveal the embarrassingly high fraction I have not read, but sometime I'll get around to a short listing of featured books. (Publishers may contact me at the address below to discuss my incentives.)

If you want to found a branch, and you keep your book list in a tagged-line format, you can use my HTMLizing perl script as long as you promise not to report any bugs you find. Bonus points if you hack it to merge branches into a master index -- shouldn't be too hard, he said unpromisingly.
