Tennessee ONLY: TEL Bill

[Beth Reardon <breardon@MCCALLIE.ORG>]

Legislative alert! You may already be aware that this month, the state
legislature will consider the TEL BILL. This act will provide free access
to a wide selection of electronic databases for all libraries, including
public and private schools. It would include access to full-text magazine
and newspaper databases, a general medical database, an on-line
encyclopedia, and other specialized indexes. Most of these databases are
beyond a small library's budget, and would be an incredible addition to
their programs.

I urge you to contact your state representative and senator, and ask that
they support this bill. Also, please encourage your students to write -
because this program will greatly benefit them. The Tenn-Share site has
more information, as well as on-line links to your legislators! Thanks.
