From the SafeKids/NetFamilyNewsletter: 9/24/04 issue The Internet: Is it student lifesaver or drowning pool? Article Published: Monday, September 20, 2004 "According to the North Adams (Mass.) Transcript, a librarian at Williams College says forget the statistic (from the Pew Internet & American Life project) that 73% of college students "used the Internet more than they used the library." They're coming back to libraries because of the deep, rich databases of information they subscribe which aren't accessible with a mere Internet connection." http://www.thetranscript.com/cda/article/print/0,1674,103%257E9049%257E24146 37,00.html Pew Internet http://www.pewinternet.org/ Sybil Finemel Library Director MLIS.CIO.
