Once again worth the "price" of reading LLTI. What's more, a quick look at the website Jack points to indicates that there is also a free version of netsnippets that is not shareware, and the contents compiled using it would be directly accessible by an instructor using the advanced capabilities of one of the purchased versions. Also there is a 50% academic discount for the purchased versions. A student could even use the free version at home to collect and then produce his reports at school using a version that would create bibliographic entries, etc. Or I suppose students could use the 30-day free look at home for that last month when students need to compile their web research into the final report--for one course, anyway. So tell me what's next, right here, when it happens.... Steve PS I haven't attached the netsnippets to this message, but I could have with that software! "Coming soon to a computer near you."
