They even think that Information Finder (World Book) is magical. A student came Friday and wanted to use the Internet. I said, "What are you looking for?" Her answer -- a map of France. What are we to do? I try my best to direct them to books first, then use the internet or other electronic resource when we cannot find the answer, or for additional information. Now one thing I must say, I do not know what we would have done without the Internet the last two weeks when finding information on Georgia Congressmen and Representatives. The poor kids have to write ten pages on an assigned Senator or Rep. Thank God for Home Pages and for Congressional sites. > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > To quit LM_NET (or set NOMAIL or DIGEST), Send an email message to > listserv@listserv.syr.edu In the message write EITHER > 1) SIGNOFF LM_NET 2) SET LM_NET NOMAIL or 3) SET LM_NET DIGEST > For more help see LM_NET On The Web: http://ericir.syr.edu/lm_net/ > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > Dana McDougald, Librarian CSHS Library, A National Award-Winnning Library Cedar Shoals H.
