1993
4 March 1993 journal entry:
As I was brushing my teeth the inspiration arrived that constructing a Library Gopher and involving ourselves in teaching electronic access and e-mail was an innovative solution to the current array of overlapping problems. I'm only beginning to think of how the details will work, but the essence is very sensible, I think, and puts us squarely in the business of information access.
