In this
fifth installment of our article on the Problem Customer, we
pick up our story at the end of dealing with a situation where
the customer is in the wrong. We addressed how to identify the
situation where the customer is or is likely to be in error and
then went on to cover the four rules +1 for reconciling the situation.
That is, there are four rules to employ when suspecting a problem
with a customer who may be in the wrong.

Obtaining
passports for children is becoming more difficult for parents,
but is also may be affecting your library. In 2001, the State Department
began requiring both parents of children under 14 to sign the passport
application. The new law requires children 14 years old and under
must be present when applying for a passport.

Initially
started as a print journal in 1974, the online publication of
Bright Lights Film Journal began in 1996, and continues to today.
As noted
on its site, the journal is "a popular-academic hybrid of
movie analysis, history, and commentary, looking at classic and
commercial, independent, exploitation, and international film from
a wide range of vantage points from the aesthetic to the political." The
journal is edited by Gary Morris, and contains pieces by a number
of persons, including independent writers, film critics, and
freelance journalists. While users can browse the archives dating
back to
1996, the articles are also thematically organized on a sidebar
on the homepage. These themes include Animation, Hong Kong Films,
Documentaries, and Film Noir. The interviews section is quite
strong, and contains candid pieces with Frederico Fellini, Robert
Wise,
and John Woo. Check it out at: http://www.brightlightsfilm.com
We identify each month a selected
website which offers unusual content or value to
librarians. Know of a great website you’d
