Yes, I saw the article in US News and thought for the most part it was
very positive. They did include librarians as being one of the best
"cyberjobs" of the future.
However, to my dismay the next issue of US News (November 6, 1995, page 91)
contains a report on a new book entitled "Law on the Net" written by
James Evans. The article states that practicing the law via the
Internet is just around the corner and the quote under a picture of the
author says "Who needs a law library?". Very interesting reading, indeed.
