Scott et al- I read your initial notice and thought your comments were nicely balanced, and don't quite understand why some jumped at the "trudge to the Library" point of view. I guess it all depends on were the library in located - often it IS rather inconvenient and then it DOES become a drudge and a chore. I know for a fact that one of the biggest complaints here is that the Library is tucked away out of most user's reach, and it does discourage a lot of users. I can think of several libraries that caused me to react in a similar manner. It is in fact a comment that should be taken under advisement if it is directed at "your" library, and try to convince administrators of the need to improve access, as in online.
