“As always this whole Internet thing makes me completely stressed out. About 30% is that it is really unpleasant to read on the screen. The rest is, I think, that you can never get an overview of HOW MUCH material there is behind every link. I know I have to know about electronic resources but I just don’t. I am, as you understand, not a good Web user….”
