And for small public libraries, nearby universities and academic libraries (like yours) are a great resource that are often overlooked.

As for the math question: I would like to state for the record that, since installing it (and tweaking my spam words list), spam comments went from about eighty a day to zero. Plus, brushing up on your math skills is good for you.

Nicely done. We employ a lot of students from other countries in our library, so if that situation ever arose, I’d probably find one of them. :)

For the record, these math problems are tricky tricky…. :)
