Ogburn, Joyce L. | Millennium minutes: a look back at licensing | The seemingly ubiquitous license agreement has a longer history than our readers might imagine or remember.

Silverman, Randall H. | Misperceptions about white gloves | Awkward mobility. Loss of feeling. Impaired sensations. These are not descriptions of a trip to the dentist, but rather a visit to the reading rooms of many special collections where the experience of handling valuable rare books and documents is synonymous with donning white cotton gloves.

Landesman, Margaret M. | Missing issues: a response | I am inclined to retitle this article "Missing Issues: One Technique for Doubling Staff, Postage, and Xeroxing Expenses While Needlessly Alienating Vendors."

Landesman, Margaret M. | Multi-volume reference sets-have they a future | For the past few years, I've felt badly about the sales representatives from major microform publishers who come to visit hoping to sell microform collections to the library.

Ogburn, Joyce L. | On anthropology and the internet (discussion and criticism) | The Internet as a topic has taken over our professional lives as much as the Internet as a reality.

Anderson, Richard Bryan | Open access in the real world: confronting economic and legal reality | Open access to scholarly information is a hot-button issue that quickly triggers heated discussion - especially if the topic arises in a mixed group of librarians and publishers.

Landesman, Margaret M. | Our users are your users: blurring the lines between academic and public libraries | Academic and public libraries share core values and goals. We share users.
