Re: [LM_NET] Addicted to War - - Collection balance

[John Grainger <jgrainger@WEBRYDERS.NET>]

There have been some good points made in this thread, but the issue remains that as 
librarians we are charged with providing the best information available to our 
constituents. We need to remember that the primary task of the military is to fight 
battles to protect our boundaries, our people, and our interests. While we may 
disagree about our boundaries or our interests, most of us recognize the need for 
an adequate military. A military career is the right answer for some people, but 
those selecting it should realise the risks involved. A Library with a good 
selection policy should provide the information seeker with the right materials to 
enable our students to make the right decisions for them. I am not sure recruiters 
talk about the bad possibilities as much as they do the good posibilities.
