New Resources and News

[gary <gprice@GWU.EDU>]

Hello from D.C.
It has been several weeks since I posted a note on LM-NET alerting all of you to
the latest happenings on  The Virtual Acquisition Shelf newsletter/weblog
 ( http://resourceshelf.freepint.com )

I know many of you visit on a regular basis, thank you very much for all of your
support. New material is posted directly to the weblog site just about 7 days a
week.


Here are a few highlights from just the past few days. In order to keep this
email brief, please stop by the blog for the complete annotations, urls, and the
full week of material. I hope you begin to make the site a regular stop in your
current awareness reading.
