Well,
     I am "advertising" and promoting the library of the future.
People don't want to change, but it's time to get ready for the
next century.
     Advertising implies money - there is no money (income) involved
- just money (outgoing) from my expenses in running the site.  I am
trying to find a sponsor or some sponsors to help with the expenses,
and more important, with the work to be done.  (Public libraries do
have Gift Shops.)
     The Virtual Library of Hampton Roads is a one-person, volunteer
project.  It is the library and information source of the future -
the 21st century.  Many people don't want to accept that fact.
     A main function is consolidating in a central place the info 
and data about a particular metropolitan area.  This would limit 
duplicate effort and links, and make things a lot simpler.  Note the 
present situation with bits and pieces of info all around confusing the 
users - locally and worldwide.
     If one accepts that there are a lot of users of the Virtual Library 
of Hampton Roads (and there definitely are) it is appropriate to bring 
these users up-to-date about the additions and changes to the Virtual 
Library.  That is the reason for the postings - if there seem to be a 
lot, it is because there is a lot going on.
     Soon the Virtual Library will come to your place on a 24-hour 
fiber-optic cable.  TV and radio cybercasts will be among the material
on the Virtual Library.
     You are invited to check the VLHR, and particularly the Professional 
Librarians' Section.  Use the Staff Entrance over by the soda machines 
and restrooms.
