[WEB4LIB] More Public sites targeted for shutdown

[gary]

Hello from Sacramento

When I posted this story to my blog on Wed/Thurs I speculated about the two 
dbases that might be the next targets of possible SIIA action. The ones I 
suggested were AGRICOLA and the Global Law Info Network. Since posting this I've 
heard that the SIIA will target a database from the NLA but not AGRICOLA and GLIN 
will be a target. We will need to wait and see if these "tips" are accurate.

http://www.nal.usda.gov/pubs_dbs/ (A List of other Agriculture related database 
from the U.S. Government).

cheers,
gary
