Do you use MW Proceedings CD-Roms?

Every year, since 1997, we have published all of the papers from Museums and the Web online before the conference [the online Proceedings]. More than 1450 papers from MW and ICHIM are indexed online at http://conference.archimuse.com/biblio

Each year, a group also appear in print in a Museums and the Web XXXX: Selected Papers volume, listed at http://www.archimuse.com/publishing/museums.html

Since 1998 we've also assembled a Proceedings CD-ROM, of all of the papers, and included it with the print Selected Papers. But we're wondering about continuing this practice.

Do you use the MW Proceedings CD-ROM? Or has that format had its day, particularly since all the papers are available – and more easily searchable – online?

Thanks for your feedback!

I haven't used them, but I've kept them around to complete the set (even though they keep falling out of my books when I move). I wouldn't be sad to see them go. Possible to have a downloadable ePub or Kindle version for offline viewing?

That format had its day, and its day ended awhile ago. (Though maybe I'm a bad judge since I can't recall ever using the CD.)
