New and Useful Web Sites, Industry News, Full-Text Docs of Interest to the
Info Professional.


5/31/01
Hello from Washington D.C.

Sorry that a weekly reminder was not available last week.

Between a trip to Seattle and Vancouver (two wonderful and gorgeous places)
and the fact that Blogspot.Com (the server that hosts the weblog) was
unavailable, it was a no go.

However, I WAS STILL COMPILING resources and news items so make sure to take
some extra time to browse the material from May 17, 2001 – May 24, 2001. It’s
all listed on the main web page.

THIS UPDATE will focus on material from May 24, 2001 - May 31, 2001

This e-mail update is a HEAVILY abridged version of what you will find on the
weblog.

REMEMBER that the weblog is updated throughout the week so feel free to stop
by everyday for news and resources.

Thanks for the continued support. If I can be of assistance, you know where to
find me.

Cheers,
gary
