LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Carol--I've been following this thread, and I don't believe there was
ever the intent to investigate any interviewee, or to research any
one's references. The discussion seemed perfectly appropriate (and
interesting) in that it explored the responsibility a departing librarian had
to their position and to the following librarian. There are a
variety of views expressed, and this seems to be the perfect forum of
a discussion of this aspect of one's professional responsibilities.
