- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- We use the Internet regularly in reference service - both for ready
- reference questions answered by electronic books and information
- sources and for literature searches via NLM, BRS, etc. Connecting,
- downloading, and file management are facilitated greatly by Internet
- when compared to modem connecting. For those expressing some dismay
- with navigating the Internet, I can only hope you gain access to an
- Internet Gopher soon. Gopher menu access/connecting to the Internet
- world of information sources is fantastic! A colleague and I are
- planning to submit a manuscript soon. Those which have already
- appeared, including the one in the January issue of ONLINE, have
- been very helpful.
