Karen,

In return--for the benefit of those of us focused on
librarianship--could you recommend an article or two (we probably
wouldn't have time for a book or two either) that tells us what you
think we need to know about computer science?

Marion,

My apologies if I stepped on your toes. I was looking for practical
way for those of us who are computer scientists by career to learn
what it is from your field that you feel is particularly relevant to
the discussion at hand about URCs. The reality is that most of us
work so many hours already (often 12 or more hours a day at work, then
go home and work more, 6 or 7 days a week) that suggesting volumes to
read for work is simply unlikely to succeed. I, for one, can't even
keep up with the mountains of reading in my own field. I was hoping
that someone from your field could help to educate us on the
particular issues related to our URC work. If that is impossible,
then unfortunately there isn't much to be done about it. But I hope
not. We are trying to learn from your experiences and work, but can
only be expected to learn within our limitations.
