Fortunately you also have http://www.sou.edu/library/indexnoflash.htm 
which seems to present the same information MUCH faster.

Flash is good for games, situations where animation is mandatory, and

situations where textual methods are adequate. This means libraries 
(except maybe for children's libraries).
