Re: Can internet replace library

>If you get a chance today (Sunday, 11/17) take a look at Headline News on
CNN -- about once an hour they're running a segment on the falacies and
myths and lies that are so prevalent on the net -- emphasizing that to do
accurate research, students must learn to evaluate critically and they must
still use a library, because print and other "hard" resources are based on
fact as a rule, not someone's opinion or rumor that just happens to be
posted on the internet.  Hurrah for CNN again.  I taped it to use it with
staff development.
