    2. I came across a couple statements that I would like to share with you: "There can be no alternative for a bricks-and mortar library, and the people on hand to help find a particular volume of reference. For all that is available on the world wide web, there is so much more that can be found in a good old-fashioned book." - Jay Underwood in Built for War: Canada's Intercolonial Railway "Nowadays with the internet and our discovery that so many wonderful things can be found in a few clicks, many researchers have forgotten that information of this kind (linguistic and geographical) may be found more quickly using a printed book and the results may be more trustworthy. The first act of some researchers who wonder "Where is Riding Mountain?" seems to be to type a query on their favourite discussion list. The answers received may simply be from the top of someone else's head, and equally misinformed. A quick trip to a gazetteer will provide a reliable answer." - Ryan Taylor in Canadian Archival Centres Mike More mikemore@rogers.com
