        I would like to echo those of you who have encouraged users
of specific products to provide feedback on those products to the
producers, developers of those products.  The products will ONLY be
improved, bugs destroyed, etc. if the producers hear our voices.  I
would also like to encourage everyone to speak up about (drum roll)
PRICING!!!  Obviously there is a difference between the for-profit
libraries and those of us in budget-depleting academic and not-for-
profit libraries.  But I suspect ALL of us have comments about price
escalation.  The information producers need to know what we think. . .
just the way journal publishers need to hear what we think about their
pricing structure.  Anyway, make it a practice when you get a new
release of a product, or when you try a particular product with purchase
in mind, to tell the producer what you think, how the product works, what
your users encountered when they tried to use the product.

        Happy New Year!!!

Subject:      Re: new business index cd

Ruth Pagell is right about our tendency to talk amongst ourselves
too much when complaining about products.  I would encourage
vendors like IAC to join Internet lists like BUSLIB-L to facilitate
feedback and suggestions about improving their products.  There
are a number of Internet service providers which provide access
to commercial firms since the Internet acceptable use policy
was made less restrictive last Summer.

For me, it's much easier to post an email message than pick
up the phone and call a vendor to complain or suggest.  Plus,
I think dialog among vendors and users in an open forum would
be valuable for all.

    We are looking for a list of the best U.S. undergraduate programs
    in engineering and overall.  There must be a list somewhere!  I
    know that many use the Barron's book to judge a school's

We have been quite unhappy with the new improved software and find
that it is much more awkward to use.

We have mentioned this to IAC president Maury Goldstein, who seemed
surprised.

It is very important that you pass your concerns along to him, since
there are obvious bugs in the system.

Patrons_Created_Equal?:_Exploring_the_Impact_of_Fees_on_Service_
Levels_.  As more and more libraries are forced to produce income
in an era of tight budgets, we have to face issues such as
differentiating between primary and secondary clientele, the
equity of service provided to paying customers and primary clientele,
where to draw the line between fee and free, etc.  These will be
some of the issues introduced for discussion by a panel of librarians
from the different perspectives of academic, public, and state

Carl Braun is right about IAC dropping older information from the
General BusinessFile.  Although they include 4 years of periodical
citations, they only include the most recent 12 months of Investext
resports and citations from newspapers.  I think it's helpful to
keep in mind that the General BusinessFile actually consists of 4 different
databases -- the periodical index, Invextext, the SIC codes and
the Ward's directory, and that retention is different for each.

direct treatment of the soil have been made, with results which have
not always been satisfactory (Allison and Anderson, 1951;  Attoe, 1949;
Johnson, 1944; Lunt, 1950; Motte, 1931; Nostitz, 1937; Turk, 1943;
Viljoen and Fred, 1924; Walters, Fox, and Wycroff, 1951; and Wells,
1950)."

This was, of course, from the wonderful treatise "Decomposition Of Hard
Maple Sawdust By Treatment With Anhydrous Ammonia And Inoculation With
Coprinus Ephemerus" by that bastion of cellulositic celebration,
Charles Bingham Davey.  Let's hear it for him, Ladies and Gentlemen - a
big hand for Dr. Charles Bingham Davey!

And Reginald, what do we have for the folks at home?

Well, Mickey, it's a large slab of reconstituted chopped meat, with
real animal by-products and a zippy tangy sauce packet!  Yes, it's the
latest from Jeremy Warfaire's Kitchen Magician Zipperfast Ready-To-Eat
Comestibles, the leader in sturdy foodstuffs since 1942.  AND THAT'S
NOT ALL!!!!



Oh Yes It Is
You've Been A Captive Audience,
Thank You And Good Night!

Shut up now and leave me alone
Do you hear me?!
I said go away!

I, too, would like this information.

Also, how would one assist one's boss this way without, how do I put
it, risking incarceration?

Painkiller!
Fortifier-Approximus
Wary of the paschal lamb
And shadow-boxing
With dim figures of innuendo
I call you
Loosely in your hogshead hide
To battle
Arms!
Battle stations!
Dog
Doggie
Nice DOGGIE
woof
meow
ha CHA!

Maybe
As while you sleep
This evening
And my best friend
Arrested in Tijuana
for spitting on the sidewalk
in 1966
When he was really throwing up
his guts from cheap tequila
Strong reefer
Too much speed
And being on the run
Maybe
You would play the part

Of the rich fag
Promised lovely party
If he would bail my buddy out
And unwitting target
to the bump on the head
The pilfered wallet
The stolen car
Were it not for kindheart buddy
Whose big heart BLED and Christlike
pleaded mercy for the little fag, "He
got me out - let's don't hurt him - let's
Just Go"?

And now years later
That same noble spirit
So eroded by booze
And any way out
That his own kids hate him
And the woman in front of me suddenly says
Oh Laura, the two flashlights
Are on order!
I ask you

What the fucks it to ya?




Merciful
