I know everything you are saying is true.  We teach kids that when
researching people:  Dead people are best in books and live people in
our magazine index.

BUT, today I was a hero to my own 18 year old because she is planning a
trip to Toronto to see "Rent" and I said I bet they have youth hostels
in Toronto and with just a few keystrokes Yahoo not only came up with
three hostels BUT one of them is specifically for theater people and is
in walking distance of the theater district.  $20 a night includes a
continental breakfast.  She told me I was HOT!

So what's the answer?  They need us to point them in the right direction
whether it is a print source or online.
