Heavens Gate

[Sara Weissman/Morris Cty Library]

1. Since the copyright holder for HigherSource material is, I assume,
not clear at this point I think I would want to check with kerrnet.com
or CD to see their views on mirroring, linking, etc. I believe there 
are questions of server load here.
2. One of the deceased graduated from my small New England high school,
three years behind me, one year ahead of my kid sister. She went on
to be an honors nursing student. I looked at her 9th grade picture
over the week-end and grieved over futility and loss of talent. I
too don't think we need to talk about this a lot...but I would
certainly have my antennae  well up for any patron, especially
child or adolescent, who seemed to be spending inordinate amounts of
time in www.kerrnet.com/heavensgate/   No, it's not my job; yes,
I'd worry anyhow...just as I did a few years ago when a patron
insistently asked for articles on how to commit suicide. Tricky 
business ..to be responsible for providing information, but not
for the uses to which it is put? Precisely what the Internet in libraries
has thrown into sharp relief, isn't it?
