There are some free downloadable ripping software available online. As the other person stated, it depends on what they are trying to do. It can involve a lot of staff time and supervision depending on what they are trying to do. You could always suggest to the patron that they "google" or checkout youtube for instructions on what they are trying to "rip." Youtube is full of instructional videos for these type of things.

Other than the possibility of copyright issues, does anyone else have any experience which you are willing to share? How much staff time and supervision is involved? Any recommendations on actual software? Other concerns? -- Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W.
