Borden Brings American Librarianship to India

These literary gems -- notes and memoranda -- have remained buried in our files and folders for a long time. These were collected mostly by personal visits to New Haven (Conn) and Baroda during 1960's and 1970's and by exploring the literary treasures still available there. It involved a great deal of investment of time, money, mind and labor. They were copied first by hand, then typed and finally computerized in a system called CMS now antiquated and no more in use. Now they are reproduced in MS Word and brought into the fold of MOspace online. It is hoped that they will bring forth Indo-American Library Cooperation more and more in the years to come

The New Old Law of Electronic Money

A variety of electronic money systems have recently been proposed or implemented in which the initial transaction between the parties would—without any contact to the banking system—result in the instantaneous transfer of bank credit. For example, “smart-card” systems and various systems that have been proposed for internet payment transactions would operate by loading transferable value onto a device, so that a payment transaction could be completed by a transaction between the parties, without any contact to the banking system. It is generally assumed that there is no present law, statutory or judge-made, that applies directly to such electronic money systems. This article contends, to the contrary, that such electronic systems are essentially identical to the system of circulating bank notes that flourished in the United States in the early nineteenth century. Indeed, in its strongest form, the claim considered in this Article is not simply that the law of circulating bank notes might serve as a source of potential analogies, but that this body of case law already applies to such systems as a matter of ordinary principles of stare decisis
