[Web4lib] Re: Libarians and libaries

If you want to pick on Michigan, please go to www.umich.edu (81 hits) or go
to Google and search for:

 libary site:lib.umich.edu

Only 12 hits.  But I bet you're right, you'll find this lots of places.

One year, 1991 I believe, Michigan State's schedule book, distributed to
50,000 students, had the word "Univeristy" on the cover in a bold, large
font.  We no longer print that document on paper, so if someone wants to
poke fun at future typos, it will have to be a screen shot.
