- well, we tried using a computerized reference services librarian here at ndsu,
- but some major logic circuits fried when it was asked, for the twentieth
- time, "where's the Infotrac?" i guess it figured the signage was self-
- evident. i would seriously suggest using humans with artificial intelligence
- until the next iteration comes around.
