Re: Padlocked Libraries? FNO February Issue

[Brian Rountree <rountree@MINET.GOV.MB.CA>]

I was intrigued by Jamie's note which I recently saw.
Although I, too, enjoy the use of the Internet, I think such administrators
who get too one-sided should be asked to do  some research just like the
children do.

My wife tried for 1 hour 55 min today to look up information on clergy
vestments, as she prepares a business plan.
After trying a variety of words and combinations, and several search
engines, she came away with perhaps 3 e-mail addresses and no sites to
visit.
I think she might have found her information much quicker in a
well-equipped and staffed city public library.

Just thought you'd appreciate that.
BTW, the public library she went to for this Internet access is in a small
town nearby and it is well stocked for local needs of fiction and Dewey
items. IT is well used by the two schools in town, too.

Yours truly,
