News You Can Use is now a BLOG!

Welcome to News You Can Use at PLYMC, the Library 2.0 version of the tech news and notes that formerly arrived via e-mail.

A recent issue of Searcher - the Magazine for Database Professionals, recently described e-mail as “an old persons medium.” OUCH! Our hope is that a blog will enable us to share new information out quickly, will make it easier to search the archives for nuggets of helpful information, and will keep us young!
