Re: [LM_NET] K-12 Philosophical Question

Jean makes some very good points about the changing nature of the reference 
section. I would just like to add that I have an increasing number of books 
that are reserved for library use because they are fragile and/or very 
expensive. Some are duplicated in the circulating collection, and it really 
helps with the most popular books, which are frequently lost or stolen to 
have that back up copy.  These books are looked at when the students have 
finished their written work and book checkout. Getting free phtocopies of 
pages from those books is one way I reinforce citation format, as the 
photocopy request is in the form of a bibliographic citation.
