Stripling is a nice person, her current insistence on wasting time and money building a Union Catalog of "scrubbed" records for the NYC public school library system is a frustrating nightmare for those of us NYC public school librarians who remain absolutely perplexed as to why she seems to refuse considering a shared web-based catalog (which many of us share any way - see <a href="http://library.nycenet.edu/common/welcome.jsp)" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://library.nycenet.edu/common/welcome.jsp)" rel="nofollow">http://library.nycenet.edu/common/welcome.jsp)</a></a> At our last meeting she claimed that there wasn't an available server...why not just buy one?

Every month I read something really neat I hadn't seen on LISNews (and that's saying something since we post almost 1,000 stories a month). They do such a great job, I'm always green with envy.
