Re: GEN: New Librarian's Questions

[Theresa Intonato <intonato@YAHOO.COM>]

I thank you for your comments and consider myself
priviledged to be listed among 12,000 working
professionals as yourselves. As a one year leave
replacement for a SMS in a K-8 building, I often
turned to LM_NET for help. You saved me many times and
encouraged me even more. I was recently hired back.
And I welcome your questions, new Librarians and wish
you luck.
