I've been subscribing to the Virtual Chase for several years and thought it was about time I told you how great and useful I think it is. I am a business librarian for a state government agency, not a law librarian. I want to keep up on law librarianship, copyright, and other current subjects. I find TVC to be of enormous value in keeping myself current. The annotations are great. I read every issue and route them all to my staff. I often find information I need to retain permanently. Thank you for a very useful and valuable service.

~Barbara S. Beverley, New York State Dept. of Economic Development

The newsletter is great, informative, timely and the best in this area. I don't know how you manage to do it. Coverage is great and there is always something interesting to read.

I attended your seminar in NY -- a well done presentation. And it was obvious the audience appreciated your excellent preparation.

~Richard Bennett

Just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I appreciate TVC Alert. What an excellent resource for both legal information and Internet search tips! I'm finding it invaluable as I gather resources for our new paralegal and criminal justice programs.

~Michelle Bing, Miller-Motte Technical College

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy TVC Alert. Like most busy lawyers who try to keep up using the electronic sources available to us, I invest quite a bit of (my) time looking at e-resources and a fair amount of (client) time using them to background facts and research law. TVC Alert almost always has a couple of links I can use or which lead to other resources useful to my practice as a trial lawyer.

~Colin E. Kaufman, Greenhill Partners, P.C.

Just wanted to thank you for this terrific newsletter. I've been receiving the TVC Alert for about a year now, and it's been consistently informative and full of useful tips. Thanks so much for your effort in putting it together.

~Simon Canick, Reference Librarian, Arthur W. Diamond Law Library, Columbia University

Your presentation, The Invisible Web: Hidden Online Research Tools, is outstanding! The TVC Alert is my Web-based NPR; if I don't read it everyday, I know I am missing some valuable information.

~Paul Barron, Technology Director, Rockbridge County Schools

As I read the TVC Alerts I received last week I was struck once again by what an incredibly useful, informative service this newsletter is. The summaries give me enough information to decide whether to check out the link, and invariably I find stories of interest.

~Mary Rumsey, Foreign, Comparative & International Law Librarian, University of Minnesota Law School

Your site is the most helpful one I have found for helping teachers, including media specialists, evaluate Internet information. Consequently, they will be better prepared to help students evaluate information. Please continue in developing this excellent resource!

~Gloria Bush, Library Media Supervisor, Mobile County Public Schools

[T]hanks for all your hard work on the Virtual Chase. I have found that I can limit the amount of news clipping services because you often have many of the articles included in the Virtual Chase. Not only do you provide many useful and timely topics, but also provide great shortcut ideas for navigating the Web.

~Lisa C. Farmer, Law Librarian, Eastman & Smith LTD.

I recently signed up for the TVC Alert in an effort to expand my skills as an administrative assistant. Your news bulletin has turned out to be even more comprehensive than I had anticipated, and I wanted to thank you for your fine work.

~Wendy Faucon, Portland, Oregon

Just thought I would take a minute to tell you how *great* this resource is!

I often find links that are very useful to us. Being a newspaper, our subject interests are pretty eclectic.

~Tim Rozgonyi, Assistant Technology Systems Editor, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

I highly value the TVC Alert. It quickly synthesizes most of what I need to know about technology, the information industry, our profession and the Internet on a daily basis. I feel like I'm on top of most issues which affect information retrieval and administration in law firms these days. It's a monstrous task to keep up with all of it but the Alert focuses on the most important aspects of our changing information world.

~Harriet Day, Director of Library Services, Arnall Golden Gregory LLP

I am writing to thank you for your amazing web site. It really keeps me current and introduces me to high quality online resources. I have also appreciated receiving xerox copies of excellent articles. TVC Alert is absolutely the best -- I don't know how anyone in the information field
can live without it!

~Gretchen Chamberlin, Reference Librarian, Tredyffrin Public Library
