Subject: [geonet] ISTL - Spring 2005
Date: Wed, 18 May 2005


The Spring 2005 issue of Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship is
now available at http://www.istl.org/

Please note that with this issue of ISTL we inaugurate a new column
entitled "Viewpoints." Its purpose is to provide a forum for informed
opinion and editorials by and for our readers. There is no shortage of
opinions among librarians, and we hope that those expressed in this column
will be provocative and interesting, and will spark ideas and reactions.
