Re: Interesting Library Quote

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@OREDNET.ORG>]

Access to information is just the first step, the beginning. And for a

libraries, have a mission that stretches beyond simple access to
include evaluation, construction, application, communication, etc.
(to make a long story short).
