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!
