Kay- > OK, can we go any further OT ;-)
To bring things back a bit less OT, my point is not about libraries per se, although physical libraries do manifest the most obvious symptom in daily life. I have discovered many interesting and surprising books accidentally by browsing shelves in a library (or bookstore) which I would never have come across if I were doing a focused search. And this doesn't matter whether the search is by title or author or subject or whatever. The situation is the same as following up web links: any click can lead you into uncharted territory and bring you to sites or subjects you would never have thought of searching for, but end up in your saved bookmarks. Closed stacks and computerized searches are the antithesis of this phenomenon. > access to more accurate data is readily available via the internet. Here's one case where your wife is wrong. More timely information, yes, since the time to print a physical document is appallingly long. But there are so many Wikipidiots out there that it's well to distrust anything that comes in over the internet. Otherwise you'll end up buying High-quality medz at low prices from Nigeria. -- Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
