A Tip o' the Cap to Steven J. Bell of Philadelphia University
A letter to the editor by Steven J. Bell, Director of the Library at Philadelphia University appears in the 12/31/01 (domestic ed.) of Business Week. From the letter, "Librarians are tech-savvy, human search engines who are highly skilled at finding information on the Internet or teaching students how to use electronic databases effectively. Students who subscribe [to services like Questia] are probably paying for something they can get at their academic library as part of their tuition." Bell was responding to a 12/10/01 article about Questia and other services.
