Was wondering about that myself. We devote ourselves to aiding our
patrons with information/data gathering ...reducing the tollbooths to
the world of info, yet place strange, seemingly arbitrary restrictions
on articles about Libraries, info ...tech ...etc.
Of course, the 'quick view' option in a Google search will bring them up
in docs quite handily. ;)
