Three messages on the public view of (map) librarians.--------Johnnie The question can be put as where (map) libraries will be on the information superhighway? Will (map) libraries be the major nodes the super highway connects? Will they be rest stops along the highway. Will they be large and small nodes just off the superhighway but with well marked connections? Will they be horse buggies that are always being driven off the superhighway by the big trucks of business and research???? Just how important are warehouses to a superhighway?????? -----------Johnnie Sutherland University of Georgia JSUTHERL@UGA ------------------------------------------------ Paige Andrew <[log in to unmask]> Re: How They're seeing us Linda, while you are at it, would you mind sending a copy to the "P.R. Update" column of the Specialist, written by Lauren M. Emmolo and Mark S. Serepca at SLA Headquarters? Of course, the address is: Special Libraries Association 1700 Eighteenth St., NW Washington, D.C. 20009-2508 E-mail: [log in to unmask] Maybe if we attack this sort of image on a wide front it will convince some of the ignorant idiots out there to "look before they leap".

The librarian saying to a surprised Al Gore "You thought libraries being an important part of it meant something else?" The library could have a big cable labeled "Hook-In" going up and plugging into an oversized outlet. The sign by the library door reads "Open longer by demand" and a line of people is going in. So any of you who may be artists out there, please send me a copy. Debra Lords [log in to unmask] Marriott Library University of Utah
