----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thanks, Ted, for those perhaps more accessible references. And note that the author of the second article, Rhodri Windsor Liscombe, is one of the speakers at the Plenary Session, Monday, 7-9 p.m., on Vancouver's Public Libraries: Place, Function and Symbolism in the Late 20th Century. I am sure Rhodri won't mind my saying that his accent will seem very appropriate in the ambience of a CPR hotel where traces of British heritage are still evident.
