1. A word on the first line: the word "our" appears instead of "the" consciously - we wanted to allow for the possibility that other "internet public libraries" would arise, so we could only speak for our own. In fact, there was a Web site calling itself the Internet Public Library before we started - it was a commercial site in Canada. I had found it, but neither communicated with them nor told the class about it, because I didn't want it to influence our work. I noticed several months later that the Canadian site had changed its name to "Cybrary," and as yet, no other IPLs have arisen.
