3) A Few Comments from Paul Willis, Dean of Libraries at the University of South Carolina

>From the article, 
Willis on librarianship, ""It's a service profession," Willis said recently. "If you think you're 
going to come into the office and read a book all day, you're in trouble." 

Willis on the Internet, "Part of a librarian's advice to today's students, Willis said, is to not 
forget about books."UCLA did a study that showed a high percentage of freshmen started their 
research on the Internet," he said. "My concern is that they stop there."Willis is convinced books 
and printed materials won't die, and he wants libraries to emphasize the use of both print and 
electronic materials."

4) Finally, from the July issue of The Journal of Medical Librarianship
