Re: [LM_NET] Magazines

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Hello All,

I thought that the original question was whether we needed to keep old
issues of magazines for years on end in our creepy, dusty, storage rooms
(the one I tell my students is our "dungeon where noisy student end
up")--not whether we should stop subscribing to hardcopies of magazines.


Did I miss something?  I'm really hoping that there aren't libraries out
there being forced to eliminate their periodical subscriptions ...

I hope I'm not being the Chicken Little Librarian here either I'm just
curious.

Thanks,

dave

While I appreciate the debate on the merit of magazines, it makes me
cringe a little. If we stop offering pleasurable reading for students,
they will stop finding reading pleasurable. Never underestimate the
power of reading for fun!
