----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Congratulations to Dennis Ward on his having mounted students' papers on
the Web, providing all of us with access to them!
May I put in a personal plea for more of this to be done at the library /
information schools, and a question about whether anyone anywhere is
assembling this and others like it into an organized Web reference tool?
In this field student input would be the best for new ideas. I get most of
my own best new Web input from my 16 year old and his friends: how else to
learn of "distributed online game sites" long before Time Magazine does?
Not that they're studying online games at the schools now -- although
perhaps they should...
