Dreaming of future home games
I always seem to be missing out on something.
In 1972, my Cub Scout group was scheduled to go watch the Royals play on Opening Day at the brand new Harry S. Truman Sports Complex.

My buddies from Pack 430 in Clinton, Mo. and I instead watched the game from the unspectacular confines of the dying Municipal Stadium.

Abstract
Scholars are facing unprecedented Information Overload in their attempts to identify potentially relevant information sources. Electronic networks have not only expedited traditional forms of publishing but created new formal and informal opportunities for communication. Conventional methods of information management are reaching the limits of their effectiveness. To enhance access to information in the coming decades, systems that fully utilize the digital nature of a growing number of scholarly resources must be implemented.
