----------------------------Original message----------------------------

We at UW-Platteville do both.  We begin with classroom instruction method and
support that with a tour of the CD-ROM area.  We are fortunate to have two
rooms devoted to BI, one of which has a system capable of projecting the
running program on a big screen.  This makes instruction realistic and
spontaneous.  We also use tranparencies as support for keyboard detail and
differences. UD

Hello from Brandon, Manitoba, Canada,

I'm hoping someone out there in INTERNET land can help me out with this.
Does anyone have and INTERNET address for the ILL dept. at Iowa State U.
in Ames, Iowa?

Even better, does anyone know of a handy-dandy directory of INTERNET
addresses?

Please send replies to LIB@MBRSBR.AGR.CA

We're using a 3M Model 4080 LCD panel with an overhead projector to show
CD-ROM screens on the big screen in our new classroom and are very happy
with its ability to display colour.  We don't actually show on the big
screen the same colours that appear on the computer monitor, since we
found that in projection, some colours need enhancement or change in order
to show up properly, but the colours can be easily enough changed and
adapted and we're very happy with it.  It is a BIG improvement over our
older monochrome Sayette projector!

Recently we had a request from a student regarding email security.
We checked in our usual sources and found quite a bit on computer
security but very little on email.  My feeling is that there are

through the Internet on this topic.  Anyone out there know where
this information is located??  Thanks for any help.

As I see it, the issue is that of appropriateness.
Library users are welcome to gather, discuss matters of common interest,
etc., but it all must be done in locations provided for that purpose.
The reference room, for example, in our library is not a place for such
meetings; it is designated for research and the rights of those who have
come for that purpose should be respected by all users and protected by
the library staff.  Most libraries have lobbies or rooms for group study,
and it seems reasonable to invite users with much to say to take advan-
tage of these facilities.
As for techniques to protect users from excessive noise, these will
probably depend on the circumstances. Posting of notices may be useful,
but the best message of all will be conveyed by quiet and serious activ-
ity by users and staff. For those who fail to take the hint or be atten-
tive to the signs, a polite verbal reminder may usually be adequate.
Although the foregoing reflects our policy and experience, there are
undoubtedly other approaches and techniques.

Thanks to all who responded to the questions that I had related
to the origin of tv in St. Lucia and the literacy rate in St. Lucia
of that year.

Here is a summary of the responses:
1.  contact Beverly Lochard of the State Depatment at 202-647-4195.
There are information workers assigned to each country to help people
with matters like these.

2.  Check World Radio TV Handbook

3.  The 1979-80 Caribbean Year Book noted that tv first came to
St. Lucia in June, 1967.

4.  The book *Talking to Whom?* is a history of print and broadcast
media in the Caribbean.

5.  The 1968 Europa Yearbook also noted that the first tv station came
to St. Lucia in mid 1967.

Thanks again for all of your help.

The best bibliographic sources for Ferek Price's work would be in
Isis or Technology and Culture. I believe an obituary appeared
in both journal at the time of his death. Colleagues at Yale University
in the history of science and medicine department, would offer many
forms of information, as well as Prof. Brigitte Schroeder, Political
Science Dept, University of Montreal, PO Box 6128, Montreal, QC H3C 3J7
Canada. His personal library was purchased a few years ago by the
Mediatheque of the Cite des sciences et de l'industrie at la Villette
in Paris and they too might have some interesting sources of information.

I hope this is helpful.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Here at the SUNY HSC Library at Syracuse, we have an online search center
equipped with terminals that allow access to our CD-Link (Logitech connection
to CD-ROMs) databases: CINAHL, Medline, and Health in addition to other
computer based information resources sponsored by the Library.  We use these
4 terminals with 4 old PCs to teach people to log on to the network (usually
for the first time), get into CD-Link, and learn the basics of Compact
Cambridge CD-ROM searching.  Since we only have about 1-1 1/2 hours for a class
our primary goal is to encourage them to "ask a librarian" for help when they
need to do a search.  We also give them a quick one-two on e-mail sends and
reads, searching Micromedex, and accessing the catalog of a nearby library.  the
most vexing problem we encounter in teaching is that the system may become
intolerably slow, or crash if everyone hits the enter key at the same time
(i.e. executes the same command at the same exact time).  We've learned to
stagger command execution and generally can avoid a crash in the middle of a
class.  Helping neophytes to logon to the network for the first time is the
most time-consuming step, but, since two of our CD-ROM databases are only
accessible via the network, it is an absolutely necessary step.

We have the Library of English Literature (LEL) and Library of American

and quite old, I believe, but right now we are finding that they do not
reproduce well at all on our Minolta R/P.  In fact, they are nearly
unreadable.  If you have either or both of these collections, I would very
much appreciate hearing how you are handling them, making copies, and what
seems to work best.  All titles are in our OPAC and it is very frustrating
to tell our patrons that they cannot be used.  We do have the correct lens
and copies of other materials (not ultrafiche) can be made on the machine.
Please answer to me and not the list.  If I get sufficient replies, I will
