Our mission in the Internet Age (was E-mail in libraries)

[Stephen Bero]

The mission of the library is given by its patrons. If patrons come to see
the library as a vital nexus of electronic communication and information
exchange, and if - big proviso - they are willing to support this role with
their tax or tuition dollars, then we librarians must organize our tasks
and select the necessary resources, both human and material, to fulfill our
obligation to our mission-givers.
