Advertising on Library Webpages

[Sloan, Bernie]

FYI.....the URL in my recent note may be confusing
for some. When I got my copy, the entire URL was not
highlighted....it stopped after the word "The". So, if you
have problems getting there, the URL should include
the following after the pound sign (#):

The Library Channel Sponsors;A New Funding Source for Libraries

Part of the problem with trying to pass along a LONG 
URL that wraps around.   :-)
