Anotehr problem I have with the libraries, with the new computer data bases that they have, is if you do a key-word or a subject search, and you get a list of 500 books, and you go throug them all jsut to find that MAYBE 5 of them actually ahve anythong to do with your subjest beyond a minor mention of like 3 words.
Or the books that you REALLY need at "loaned out" at the time, and I always have teachers that think that you can write a complete essay over a 2 day period, with something like 5 news articles, 3 encyclopedias, and numerious other accurate sources.  I've actually had more of those than I can count on my fingers and toes, and you go looking for this stuff, and, SURPRISE, it's never there, not what you need!
*sighs*
Anyone else out there like that?

Always,
