Letters to the editor

Dear editor:

Great article by James Farmer in the November 1998 issue of C&RL News‚ “Don’t lead a road warrior existence.”

I thought the "information highway” metaphor had been overused to the point of annoyance, but he brought new life to it and made an excellent point as well.— Kathy Kaldenberg, librarian, Kaskaskia College Library, e-mail: k.athyk@kc.cc.il. us

Dear editor:

Jim Kapoun’s July/August article in C&RL, News, “Teaching undergrads WEB evaluation,” showed his obvious understanding of college students especially in his statement, “I had to first acknowledge that most students today tend to conduct research with speed rather than accuracy and rarely evaluate resources.” His chart for evaluating Web pages is excellent and quite easy to understand. It is the first I’ve seen that I would even consider dropping on a Freshman Comp. class.—Sara Dodge, Toccoa Falls College, e-mail: libraryl@toccoafalls. edu
