10785	This is also in response to the critique about public librarians, and the writer's intent never to contact a public librarian again. What if you end up working...	Nora Wikoff nwikoff@...	Mar 1, 2005 8:19 pm

10788	As someone who teaches the intro to reference course (for Simmons GSLIS), I do want librarians to help my students. I would expect a specific kind of help...	Stephanie Willen Brown swbrown@...	Mar 1, 2005 8:56 pm
10789	When I first started library school, I too was a bit surprised that the reference librarians at my university library would not answer any questions about my...	O'Brien, Anna-marie annamarie_obrien@...	Mar 1, 2005 8:58 pm

10793	I heard similar stories at the academic library where I went to library school. Some of my classmates were flatly refused service because they were library...	Tim Schreiber tschreib@...	Mar 1, 2005 9:40 pm
10794	MS Womack et.al. The position taken by many public libraries does not permit us to distinguish why you ask your question. Distance learners are no different...	Nathan Parker nparker@...	Mar 1, 2005 9:48 pm
10795	I have to disagree with the statement, "It is not a librarian's job to police WHY someone needs information-- and frankly, it's none of our business, either."...	Michele Mizejewski michele.mizejewski@...	Mar 1, 2005 10:35 pm

10797	I'm am MLIS candidate at the U of Alberta. I'm finding this debate a bit bemusing. Our library and school are separate entities, but have a close working...	TerryRomaniuk tjr1@...	Mar 1, 2005 11:00 pm
