		      HAWKING INFORMATION

                There are some great places to do
		business research throughout the world.
		One of my favorites is the:

		Kirstein Memorial Business Library
		----------------------------------
		20 City Hall Avenue
		Boston, MA

		This is in a nice, older area of Boston.
		And as with any Library, one of its MAJOR assets
		is its Librarians.   They are amazingly fast
		at coming up with information... whether it
		be on Unlisted Stocks, or tidbits from Annual Reports.

		The BIG problem there these days is that because
		it is a Public library its funds have been sharply
		reduced due to the economy.  So some library services
		are now served up on an intermittant basis.

		One way that funds could be restored
		to this or similar public libraries anywhere
		(without charging those who can't afford it)
		would be to setup a (900) telephone number to the library.
		The patrons who had the money, but who didn't have the
		time, could call this (900) phone number and they'd be
		charged a flat $2.00 per call for information that
		the librarians could gather and recite over the phone
		in 5 minutes or so.  For reasonable additional fees,
		the librarians could also make xerographic copies, and mail
		them to the researcher or investor.  There could also be
		corporate memberships whereby (for a yearly fee)
		a corporate patron would be given an (800) number that
		it could call to tap into this terrific information bank.

		The benefits of this setup are:
		    (1) Patrons who didn't have the money [but who
			had the time] could still gain access to the
                        same information as those willing to pay.
			They'd just have to travel physically into the
			library and do their own research.
		    (2) The extra income generated could be used to
			bring back the FULL library services for
			BOTH non-paying & paying library patrons.
		    (3) Best part is the librarian's salary would
			go up.  They deserve it.
		    (4) And if my guess is correct, over time, alot
			more services could be added.  Such as more
			computerized access to business information.

		But don't forget...

		... a HAWK-eyed Systems Analyst might see gaping
		    holes in this idea.
