I agree that the public must be educated as to what real research and
documentation are all about. When I first subscribed to ROOTS-L about five
years ago, there were many messages asking for a "Look-up in CD #whatever".
Now such subject headings are rarely seen. Is it because people are
discovering that the data on the CDs isn't reliable? I'd like to think so!

This message came to my mailbox today via my subscription to the Bowers
List. Here's a person who knows how to document data that she puts on-line:
