     I have a mixed reaction to this request for information.  I realize the
Internet is still very new and one way to encourage teachers to use it is to
position it within the curriculum.
     On the other hand, we have moved to a process approach to
information-seeking skills which suggests we emphasize the process over the
resource.  I really liked the series of articles Jamie McKenzie wrote
(Technology Connections) on searching the web, but his focus was on process.
     How do others see this issue?
