Confused...

["Earl J. Moniz" <earlj@MONIZ.ORG>]

Hello everyone...

I'm a little confused by Pam's comments about end users not being experts...

When I ask questions of the listserv participants, I'm not necessarily
trying to get an expert opinion (although there are some very knowledgeable
individuals on this listserv who would fit the "expert" descriptive
category), but rather, a practical solution to a problem or some views of
individuals who own or have used a piece of equipment extensively in a
library-based environment ...  The manufacturing representatives will always
give the most glowing recommendations for their own equipment.  I think
inquiring of the end-users is an excellent beginning to solving most
problems and cannot be beaten for honest, objective, and librarian-based
viewpoints...

Isn't that why this listserv was organized?

Aloha y'all   ...   Earl J.
