The ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP), with the
support of the American Association of Law Librarians (AALL), is
pleased to announce a new copyright education course delivered via
e-mail.  The Online Copyright Tutorial, the first project of ALA's
Copyright Education program, is free to all ALA and AALL members.

Non-ALA members can also participate by mailing their e-mail
address along with a $25 dollar check or purchase order payable to
the American Library Association. We regret we cannot accept
credit cards.  Please send mail to the Washington Office address:

The Online Copyright Tutorial is designed for librarians (public,
school, academic, etc.), educators, and researchers.  Subscribers
need only have an e-mail address to learn the "basics" of
copyright at a friendly and instructive pace.  Approximately three

overall) will be sent. Messages will be sent beginning the week of
February 14th through the week of May 5th, 2000. For more
information, see ALAWON, vol. 9, no. 2

Subject: tearjerker

I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned Beauty by Bill Wallace. I knew
the horse, being so old, was going to die. I just knew it. So, about 3/4 of
the way through the book, I set it aside. And I waited. And I waited.
FINALLY, my husband announced he was going to an evening ballgame. (If I'm
going to have a cry, I want to have a GOOD one, and you can't do that with
a husband around.) As soon as he was out the door, I built a fire, grabbed
a comforter and a fresh box  of tissues, called my three cats, and finished
the book. WOW! I cried--SOB-- for hours.  I even cried myself to
sleep--long before my husband came home.

Another book, I don't think has been mentioned is Good Night, Gracie. I
can't remember the author. But I cried through the entire book. Practically
from page one. My eyes hurt for days, I'd cried so much.
