I sometimes work from home - not because I'm too lazy to go to the office, just the opposite. I get a lot more done if i can stay home and work without interruption. And, yes, my employer makes it easy for me to do this by providing me with tools like SameTime, VRVS, skype, Yahoo chat, and more so that i can stay in touch with colleagues while i'm not in the office. I attend virtual meetings, edit documents and have my documents edited by people who live in other states, and more. I find this exciting. And i hope that the tools that I use, all free resources except for SameTime, are available to people who are *equally* deserving in poorer countries. If students learn to use these tools and others like them while in school, more power to them! And congrats to universities who encourage and promote this kind of forward thinking, Siobhan Siobhan Champ-Blackwell Community Outreach Liaison NN/LM-MCR Creighton University Health Sciences Library 2500 California Plaza Omaha, NE 68178 402.280.4156/800.338.7657 option#1,#2, then #1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nnlm.gov/mcr http://medstat.med.utah.edu/blogs/BHIC/ <http://medstat.med.utah.edu/blogs/BHIC/> http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/siobhanchamp-blackwell <http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/siobhanchamp-blackwell>

How considerate of the university !! Would the university be doing the same services for these same students when they graduated and employed but too lazy to get up in the morning to go to the office ?? Why not use the same amount of money wasted on these students to people who might be more deserving in the poor countries??
