Ahh, the 'R' word. Are you implying that there are no 'research' uses for
the Internet or even that there are no 'non-research' purposes for your
databases? And, just what should be considered 'research' anyway? You're
library has Danielle Steele books, right? What are the research purposes of
those? What right does a librarian have to decide what is 'research' and
what is not? (Assuming we have the right to know what their doing or why
they're doing it in the first place.)
