Research Papers and the Web: Follow-up

[Sloan, Bernie]

>
>About two months ago I posted a brief overview of an 
>op-ed piece that appeared in the 8/15/97 issue of
>the Chronicle of Higher Education (David Rothenberg's
>"How the Web Destroys the Quality of Students'
>Research Papers").
>
>I thought I might also point out that letters to the editor
>regarding this article have started to appear in the
>Chronicle. See pages B3 and B12 of the 10/10/97
>issue for four letters. The authors of the letters come
>from varied backgrounds: a director of information
>technology, a public services librarian, a professor
>of philosophy, and and a professor of history. 
>
>Each of the writers makes good points. If you read
>Rothenberg's original piece, I'd recommend that you
>also take a look at these letters.
