Re: [LM_NET] Another Scam

[Diane Roberts <diane77401@GMAIL.COM>]

I was told in a reference class taught by Fern Hyman, a Rice
University reference librarian, that one should always share who's who
type information when those things come in over the transom. (Not
identity theft type info, naturally)

The rationale is that if a person is not hugely famous, it is often
hard to find ANY good information about them. How many times have we
had people on this listserv trying to find out something about a not
very famous author? If stuff is available in a not very respectable
who's who type publication, it might be the only place it can be
found.

Just another point of view about these trashy who's who things.
