Hello LM_NET Colleagues, After reading Debbie Abilock's enthusiastic recommendation of Carol Simpson's book, "Internet for Library Media Specialists", followed in the next message with an excellent, modern "A Classroom Parable" by Doug Johnson, it caused me to reflect on the many superb human resources that are part of our LM_NET membership. In addition to the many, many helpful postings to LM_NET, it seems like I am constantly noticing a familiar LM_NET member authoring an article or being mentioned in technology magazines like Technology Connection, Net Teach News, or Wired. It is amazing to me how much giving and sharing there is, from so many very, very busy folks! It is especially nice to see an LM_NET member mentioned, praised in fact, by the mass media. If you check page 44 of the current (December 25, 1995) issue of Newsweek magazine, you will see the brief but factual accolade about Gleason Sackman, a long time LM_NET contributor and general Internet hero! Not only does Gleason help educators stay abreast of new resources on the Internet with his Net-Happenings <http://www.mid.net:80/net/>, but he also makes available a large set of well-organized links to K-12 schools on the Web <http://toons.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu/~sackmann/k12.html>. Gleason is also an LM_NET Skills Index mentor! I could go on and on about the many wonderful other contributions that I notice and appreciate very much, and which I am sure that many of our other LM_NET members notice and appreciate as well. Let it suffice for me to express a big "Thank You" to all of you who have added support and value to our lives. It is wonderful to be part of this large, friendly and helpful LM_NET group!
