	Given the apparent attitude of many librarians toward
technological change this is neither surprising, nor necessarily
undesirable.  If a library bureaucracy thinks that "research" is something
that is done with printed material that should be hoarded and distributed
grudgingly and sparingly-- I would hope that a College/University
Administration would remove decision making responsibilities from them
forthwith.  If they are tenured and unremovable, at least render them
harmless. Let them wander the stacks, telling people to be quiet.
