You may recall that last week Miko Pattie (University of Kentucky) appeared in this space. In addition to being an Assistant Director for Technical Services at the University of Kentucky, Miko teaches a library school course on Technical Processing Systems. She asked me if her students could subscribe to ACQNET. I said: "of course," and I asked her to tell the rest of us why she was asking. The next posting is her reply. So we welcome her first batch of students. There should be a few more next time. I, for one, am thrilled to have them. It should add a real dimension to our discussion of acquisitions education. The new subscribers are, all from the University of Kentucky College of Library and Information Science: Barbara E. Pfeifle Merry J.

When I taught the class last year for the first time, I gave my class the option. A few signed up and were completely overwhelmed with the kind of information they could get from dialogues on AUTOCAT, SERIALST and the _Newsletter on Serials Pricing Issues_. This year, I decide to integrate this into my instruction for the following reasons: 1. to get them to use the tool that has revolutionized communication, information transfer and delivery, and everything we do; 2. to avail them the kind of issues that engage the practitioners in the field, be it controversial or emerging; 3. to bring all issues we talk about in the class closer to home, such as, OPAC's, E-Journal, new paradigm for scholarly communication, networks, etc. I remember seeing a message on one of the too many lists I subscribe to that indicated the sender's displeasure at having library school students on the list requesting information on whatever projects they were working on. I thought that was a bit provincial-- information is not worth a cent if it's not shared. I am hoping you don't feel this way. I really want my students to learn not just from me or the textbooks; I want them to learn from all of you. I will keep you posted on what their thinkings are. Or, better still, they'll let you know by actively participating in the dialogue.

Tools include software for electronic publishing, database development, and interface design, as well as hardware and software for hypermedia/multimedia.
