5. 5 Why Collaborate? You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians. — Monty Python skit

6. 6 Roadblocks to Collaboration Time Administrators Teachers  Not Everything Is on the Internet  The Needle (Your Search) in the Haystack (the Web)  Quality Control Doesn’t Exist  Aren’t There Library-less Universities Now?  The Internet: A Mile Wide, an Inch (or Less) Deep

7. 7 Misconceptions: We are here for more than just answering questions Why is abbreviated such a long word? Is there another word for synonym? Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why does monosyllabic have five syllables? If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

11. 11 Who to Seek Out?
