GEN: NYTimes article online

[Ken Umbach <kumbach@UNLIMITED.NET>]

Hi ... today's (May 31) online NY Times has an article by Rebecca Fairley
Raney, titled "Los Angeles Libraries Experience Renaissance With Computer
Use."  One notable pair of sentences reads: "The doomsayers were wrong.
The crush of information has made librarians more important than ever."
There may be much here of interest to LM_Net folks, even though the focus
is on public libraries.

The article is at
http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/yr/mo/cyber/articles/31library-la.html

Access is free in the U.S., with registration.  Sorry, I cannot forward
copies of the article to those without access.

Regards,

Ken Umbach
