Western IL to start an electronic media dept. as prt ofour library. The dept partment would provide many services like: 1.provide internet resources to students without computer skill or acces 2.provide program and electronic journal sources. 3.provide out of state and foreign students to thier home news and bbs. THis is my first posting and I haven't expressed my self as well as I would like. I find many librarians saying that computers will eliminate books and libraries . I don't believe this. I invision a department of the library that treats electronic resources and information the same way that books or periodical or reference or audiovisual sources are treated. Possibly so far as program check outs. It would start with acces to internet with a catolog of its resources databases and a librarian who can access this info. I hope to pursue an mls and continue by working in a library and I see an opportunity to greatly expan the influence use and relevance of libraries by pursuing this line of reasoning. What I would like would be if people that know of such programs or participate insuch programs if they could send me info. I would also like to see a discussion of this topic on the net. My internet address is murpr@uxa.ecn.bgu.edu I appreciate any help and your patience and understanding with my first posting attempt. Philip Reynolds
