Is anyone else disturbed by what I see as a growing trend here? By this I mean the increasing number of "requests for information on..." that appear to be substitutes for going to the library. I am busy. To answer most/any of these questions would only take a few minutes, but would be a disservice to the individuals making the queries who need to learn how to use their library catalogs, current contents, and/or other library sources in order to do research. Now, if the query starts out "I have looked up ... and found only a couple of references...." I would be much more sympathetic. Does anyone else feel this way? Mary Ellin D'Agostino [log in to unmask]
