2.6 Where can I get the latest news regarding libraries and library science?

NewsFlashes/Libraries, http://www.hwwilson.com/flash.html, is a
headline news service for the library community provided by the
publisher H. W. Wilson. News Flashes is updated every Monday.
The Library Journal Digital, http://www.ljdigital.com/, provides
library news and technology updates.

AcqWeb's Hot Topics section,
http://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/law/acqs/acqs.html, has links
relating to current controversies in library science.

A good source for "alternative" news is the Minnesota Library
Association Social Responsibilities Round Table (MSRRT) Newsletter,

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/7423/index.html , provides
interesting updates on library staff unionizing, internet censorship,
price gouging by vendors, etc.
