The following e-mail came in through the "Ask a Librarian" e-mail reference
feature on our library's web page. Has anyone else seen this sort of thing
before? I'm wondering if this is a legitiamte request for a book or "spam"
advertising. It seems I've seen this sort of thing discussed on one of the
library listervs before. I tried searching variations of the name in the
e-mail address through the "Find People" function on our college's web page
and couldn't find anyone by that name connected with our college.
