Re: paper on student access to Internet issues

 Iam most interested in your paper on student access to the net. Our high
school has just acquired a connection. There are lots of unanswered
questions about appropriate use, skills, ethics etc. As a librarian I
think also about potential for that old nemesis of teachers, plagiarism.
With easy downloading of information from a plethora of electronic sources
directly to one's word processing program the potential is limited only by
the kid's imagination.

Will you send your paper over LM_Net or snail mail? I look forward to
further discussion.
