"Manners are of more importance 
than laws. Manners are what vex 
or soothe, 
corrupt or purify, exalt or 
debase, barbarize or refine us, 
by a constant, 
steady, uniform, insensible 
operation, like that of the air 
we breathe in." 
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Subject: Online Petition to Prevent the Library of Congress From 
Abandoning the Creation of Series Authority Records 

Hello, 

Please forgive any duplication. 

I have used Elaine Sanchez's petition (with some editing and with her 
permission) to create an online petition. I thought it would be easier 
to collect more signatures this way. I would like to have all 
signatures by 3:00 PM EST on Friday, May 5. After that I will e-mail 
and snail-mail the petition to the members of the House/Senate Committee 
on the Library of Congress, Beacher Wiggins, James H. Billington, and 
possibly others if there are suggestions. Any who wishes to, may print 
this petition and mail it to your congressional representatives. 

To access the petition:

Please cross post and share! 

Thank you,
