Congrats? My freshman year was 1997 - and I know when I was in middle school in 1995 majority of my peers knew nothing about computers, didn't have a computer, let alone the Internet. I was a fortunate one to receive a 2nd hand computer and at that time I using Lynx (text based browser) to browse the web because I was using my local library's system as my ISP and connecting via Telix.

Rather than look down on your librarian for introducing a novel concept to students, I think she should be applauded for trying.

Everyone started somewhere.
