It's axiomatic to suggest that teachers, students, and the general public need greater access to more of them. Of course, it's one thing to say that, and quite another to do it. The other burning need is training. We all need to be shown how to print, collate, and bind booklets. We need help in working computers, connecting to the Internet, and designing Web pages.
