Re: Formulating Antoine's proposal

Ralph, you should look at the recent emails from Dan Scott proposing 
"offer" as the statement of library holdings. I think we would be

I think "sharing" has much broader application than just libraries.  My personal experience is with local Habitat for Humanity groups and disaster assistance mission trips.  In both cases, marshalling a distributed collection of sharable items with rich descriptions of the items, including local copy annotations ("the chain needs sharpening"), is critical to the process.
