[WEB4LIB] RE: Do we want a .lib or .library domain?

[Garwood, Steve]

To be quite honest I'd like to see us all work together on a
www.library.com, which of course would be accesible via library.org .net
.lib .info, etc.

I kind of think that people don't really care that libraries are online.
Yahoo is easier and to be quite honest it can often be a pain in the butt to
find your local libraries website (if it has one).

I'd rather see a site that can "compete" with the Yahoo's out there. We are
the info "gods", why do we have the marketing of the Edsel?

True, but a library-specific TLD would raise the visibility of 
libraries on the net, and that can't do anything but help us.

At least until there are a gazillion TLDs...
