>100% BTW, why do you have a rush at the reference desk? If they >don't know the course material by now, how is reference going to >help them? Finishing up papers. Also, many reference tools are good for reviewing one's subject. And there are the usual procrastinators -- or those who, like I, have so damn' little time that we cannot work ahead on our assignments and end up with last minute rushes. It's not my choice, but I must work within the time frames I am given. Re: the rest of your query -- I'm keeping an eye out for that issue of the Chronicle, now. (It gets routed; I'm last on the list. Of course.) As a listowner who has unsubscribed two people from my list, one for creating such a tense situation that we had people -- valuable contributors -- complaining and even unsubscribing, and one for his inability to post a reply that did not deliberately insult the original poster, I have some interest in this matter. Wouldn't at ALL mind seeing it discussed. >Douglas Mario "Sleep? What means this word Sleep?" Rups [log in to unmask]
