Hi again:
Have you noticed a decline in reference service ever since computers
have come into existence? My faithful customers are senior citizens.
Either they are intimidated by the computer or their physical ailments
prevent them from learning to use it. Children, teenagers, and adults
enjoy surfing the internet much more than reading paper material.
Luckily some teachers forbid their students from using the computer for
their homework. Many teachers want their students to find and read
BOOKS.
