Subject: Support Sandy Berman - sign petition on web
Hello, and apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute this widely. I
especially need help reaching the cataloging community.
Sandy Berman has been pulled out of his job. (Don't bother e-mailing him -
he's gone offline for the time being.)
There is a petition on the web for you to sign if you want to register
your support. It would be a great morale boost for Mr. Berman and others
at HCL to see a long list of supporters. The petition is at the PLG
website. The URL is:
http://www.libr.org/PLG/sbsupport.html
Contact information for Sandy Berman is as follows:
>Don't expect to have computer access for a
>while. All communications, please to: 612-925-5738; 4400 Morningside
>Road, Edina, MN 55416.
He would appreciate your words of support as well as your questions.
If you want to know what has happened, there is a sketch of the situation,
admittedly biased, available in Library Juice 2:9 and 2:16, with more to
follow.
The URLs:

and

Thanks for your help.
