This monthly online magazine of librarianship offers news stories, special reports, columns entitled "Internet Librarian" and "Technically Speaking," upcoming events, tables of contents for previous issues, and archives of past issues's features and news. This month's issue is particularly interesting as it includes the second edition of Thomas Hennan Jr.'s HAPLR (Hennan's American Public Library Ratings) Index of US libraries. (See the
March 23, 1999 Scout Report for Social Sciences for a review of HAPLR I.) HAPLR II not only categorizes the best libraries by population ranges, but also gives cumulative ratings for the 50 states so readers can see how well states are supporting their library systems. The magazine also includes, in this month's edition, a link to the first HAPLR published in its January edition.
