Maybe even "those web sites that have good stuff in them that some people find useful for school, business, entertainment and the pursuit of happiness." Okay, maybe that's overreaching... At any rate, the AIRS Committee is announcing open trials for a range of databases/e-resources. These are vendor products being considered for inclusion in a possible statewide package. The committee needs your help. And wants your feedback about these products! The window for taking a look at these valuable e-resources only stays open until Feb 6, so dive on through! Visit - http://airs.cvlsites.org Advance thanks for your participation! -Jim p.s. Maybe you're thinking, "Hrmph. I would think they'd give us longer to look at these products." But be honest, if we gave you three months, you'd still only "get around to it" in the last few days of that period. You know it's true... No insult intended! None of us are procrastinators--we're all just "incredibly busy" throughout Colorado LibraryLand.
