web pages without basic information

In my quest for libraries suing wireless LANs, I have looked at lots of web
pages recently.  I am amazed at how many main web pages do not have address
information and telephone numbers for the library or the parent institution.
Imagine doing a search on colleges or universities and not being able to
find a mailing address to request more information.  You may be limited to
using e-mail only.  On some sites it is even impossible to tell what city or
state such institutions are in.  Excuse me for bringing out one of my pet
peeves.

"They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all
quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't
mess with them."  -- Michael Moore talking about librarians(Buzzflash,March
2002).
