Peter Graham on censorship, telecom bill

[Richard Heinzkill]

I agree with Peter Graham.  It is not that libraries aren't concerned with 
censorship or the telecom bill, but I think those issues are better handled 
in other forums.  Of course there are always those people that can stretch 
any scope statement to include their topic. Which brings me around to -- 
what is the scope of web4lib??  In preparing this note I went back and 
looked at some of the original documentation that I was sent when I joined 
back in May 1994. I found:"Information Systems Instruction & Support of the 
UC Berkeley Library is pleased to announce a new electronic discussion for 
library-based World-Wide Web developers and managers."  I have found it most 
helpful for myself who don't fit into any of those two categories but teach 
the Web. And teaching issues seem to show up regularly, but under the short 
scope statement should they? (YES!) Maybe the group or moderators would care 
to discuss a longer scope statement to guide people who wish to join and/or 
submit.
