The proposal sounds good, however there are a few areas that do need
to be covered:-

	1) Some means for for members not near the local chapter to
	   obtain books.  For example it is difficult to expect Newcastle
	   member to travel to Sydney to make use of the library.

	2) Some method for possibly sharing books between different
	   libraries.

	3) Some proposal regarding a central library for less frequently
	   use books, e.g. DMR's study into UNIX in Australia (we were
	   given a copy, I doubt we would pay for it).  This could
	   possibly be one of the Chapter libraries.

You should be a bit careful about tying this proposal to just Chapters,
remember that there is only one active chapter (WAUG) a couple being
formed (Canberra and Brisbane) and a couple of funnies (SWIGS and
SESSPOOLE).  There are also many members who shouldn't be disadvantaged
just by virtue of living outside a "large" city, they are in need of such
a service even more than those who often borrow from friends.

Finally I think you should propose a regular funding from AUUG, it makes
it much more secure for future planning, and often these books date
change very quickly.
