When I saw the story mentioned below "What to Expect When Every High 
School Student Has a Personal E-mail Account at School" I felt certain 
that I knew at least one issue that would be discussed. Since it wasn't, 
I thought I'd add two cents on the issue for anyone who does go read the 
piece since it deals with a topic that I don't recall being discussed 
here before.

As a digital publisher, our library has increasingly fielded email 
inquiries from students who seem to believe that since we make 
information available on a particular topic that we will do their school 
research for them. So when I saw the title of the above article, I must 
admit to experiencing a cold chill down my spine in anticipation of 
having dozens of students a day from around the globe asking me to write 
their paper (in one form or another). I can hardly wait.
