Hello from D.C.

It's been several months since my last posting to the list. Since my last post
The Virtual Acquisition Shelf and NewsDesk has been renamed The ResourceShelf
with a new url:

I know many LMNet members stop by several times a week. THANK YOU! If you
haven't stopped by recently, please do. ResourceShelf contains professional
news, search tips, and new web accessible resources, many of them available at
no charge.

The web site is updated DAILY with a weekly reminder mailing containing just a
few highlights sent on Thursday.

Here is sample of what you'll find. Visit the site for the urls and MUCH MORE
