>I'm interested in what kind of municipal information resources are used or
>requested by library patrons and librarians, or what types of municipal
>information you think are useful to collect. While I work in a Canadian
>academic library that has a large documents section, I'd also be
>interested to hear from public or special librarians.

>Specifically, I'm also interested in the impact the Internet has had on

>done a lot of browsing through various city-nets and community information
>networks, it seems to me there is agreat disparity in the scope and
>coverage of these sources.

>Any anecdotes about you experiences with either print or electronic
>sources of municipal information would be appreciated. This is generally
>for my own interest, but might become a research interest in the future.

>Thanks for your time.
