Here’s an idea that I’d love for some forward-thinking library to take advantage of for this one’s totally outside of MPOW’s collection development policy: Download the CC-licensed Nine Inch Nails album, burn a copy to CD then catalog and circ said CD. Don’t forget to get it cataloged into OCLC too!

Jonathan, thanks for the pointer to the WorldCat record. However, this isn’t exactly what I’m looking for. Frist, that record was created (incorrectly, I’ll get to that next) by MidWest Tapes and it’s for the full two-CD commercially released version. What I’m looking for is someone to download the five free tracks via BitTorrent, burn a CD-R version and catalog that home-brewed version.
As for the “incorrentness” of the record: instead of listing it as “Ghosts I-IV” the record originally listed it as “Ghosts I” with a subfield n of “IV” as in “Ghosts I, part IV”. I’ve since had someone make the appropriate correction to the record.

It looks like someone has done just that:
Ghosts I. IV on Worldcat.org
