      I think there is a basic misunderstanding of what a tool is.  A tool is used to manipulate or change something.  A resource is manipulated or shaped with a tool.  Information reosurces are not tools.

  Steven Bell suggests at ACRLog (http://tinyurl.com/2rxvmk) that it may be "a
case of our failing to create awareness about these resources to the faculty
and researchers who should identify them as valuable e-learning resources."







If a dozen self-designated e-learning specialists all bullet-voted for one
library-related tool, such as SFX, maybe it might make the list.
