Long Live The Presidential Library!

Betsy Schiffman

Before last weekend, with the exception of wine connoisseurs, few Americans had ever heard

of California's Simi Valley. By now, however, millions of people around the world know about

this Los Angeles suburb. The reason is that it is the site of the Ronald Reagan Presidential

Library and Museum and will be the final resting place of the late president.

'Jefferson' letter causes quite a stir

By Paula Woodhull / [log in to unmask]

Friday, June 11, 2004

A volunteer archivist sorting through dust-covered documents in the attic of the

old Townhouse came upon an incredible find Wednesday morning - a letter

believed to be signed by none other than Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third

president from 1801-1809.

"I was very excited," said history buff Dorothy Garfield, of Kingston, "because

I've looked through so many things."

from 30 June to 2 July 2004.

Books on the brink:

Librarians must decide shelf

life

By Mary Jo Almquist, The Forum

Published Tuesday, June 01, 2004

Weeding isn't just for gardens.

Believe it or not, it's also a common activity done year-round in libraries everywhere – including

those in Fargo and Moorhead.

Weeding is the term librarians use to describe the process of ridding excess or outdated books,

making room for new, more popular ones.

For Fargo librarian Steve Hubbard, having to decide when a book's shelf life must end can be a

difficult one.

Minister questioned by police

Transport Minister Kim

Howells has been questioned

by police over his admission

that he destroyed records

during the 1984-5 miners

strike.

Dr Howells, who was an official of

the National Union of Mineworkers

(NUM) at the time, went to police

voluntarily.

In a BBC documentary earlier this year, the Pontypridd Labour MP

said he was worried police would raid the union's office after a cab

driver was killed taking miners to work.

Courts Break New Ground on Privacy

June 11, 2004

By: Robert Gellman

The courts continue to issue potentially expansive opinions about privacy. No need to

panic yet because the limited holdings are not immediately relevant to marketing and

profiling activities. Still, the developments provide useful intelligence.

One case arose from litigation involving the constitutionality of the federal law

prohibiting so-called partial birth abortions. Several courts wrestled with discovery

requests for medical records created by physicians testifying as expert witnesses that the

prohibited technique is medically necessary.

Sex case pits library against cops

In Naperville, librarians cite state law--and the Constitution--in forcing police to

get a court order before releasing the identity of a man accused of looking at

Internet porn

By James Kimberly

Tribune staff reporter

Published June 11, 2004

When three teenagers in Naperville's Nichols Library reported seeing a man fondling himself while

looking at Internet pornography, library workers called police.

The man left before officers arrived, so police asked to see who was logged on at the computer. To the

surprise of police, the library refused, opening another chapter in the controversy over how much access

law enforcement should have to library records.
