Re: [LM_NET] GEN:Google to Offer Print-Archives Searches

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@YAHOO.COM>]

Like a lot of other Google content this is interesting but not too useful. Much of 
the content linked to is available only on a pay-per-view or subscription basis. 
Paid online databases are still the only way to get to the actual content in most 
cases.
Keep up the pressure on your schools and districts to keep those database 
subscription current. Don't let them think that everything is now available for 
free on Google!
As I said great for searching--not great for actual content.

Reading is a means of thinking with another person’s mind; it forces you to 
stretch your own.--Charles Scribner, Jr.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are 
putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. -Mark Twain
