Re: Online journal statistcis

Dear liblicense-l readers:  

Re: the msg below, Library Journal published a cover story about
electronic usage in its Oct. 1 issue. In that article LJ provides a
progress report about various initiatives underway, including the
McClure/Bertot study funded by IMLS, due to wrap up in May 2000.

It's a useful and proactive piece -- find and read.

Sincerely, Ann Okerson
