Internet Libraries in 2000

[C. W. Tazewell]

Hiya,
     Find out all about The Internet in the Year 2000!  Check the new 
page at The Hampton Roads Central Library.  It is also linked at the
Front Entrance of The Library.

     Jack and Jill and Little Joey need 21st-century library service.
     One thing is now missing: a very important, essential, vital
part.  Your local Metropolitan/Community Digital Library has not been
found.
     We have the technology and the product, and the consumers.  But
the info is not conveniently available for the end used - the
delivery system is very lacking.
     The typical, and future, Internet user will not have the time,
interest and skill to be a proficient web surfer.  Info must be
handed to him in a simple, easy manner.  It needs to be point and
click before the public will really take to it.
     You don't train and indoctrinate people to use The Internet.
We must adapt and fix The Internet to suit the public and students.
     When will your local Digital Library be online?  It should
be a people-place where they will feel at home.  It should be a
place where a not-too-bright person that hates computers can use
it and enjoy it.
     Point and click.
     Sm:)es,
               Bill.
