ulty members of all three schools, a new contract with Elsevier would have locked the TRLN libraries into an inflexible col- lection policy, because Elsevier insisted that the individual libraries commit to a policy of zero cancellations over the life of the license.

”Mona lisa Smile” *** DirectorzMike Newell Starring:Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst Julia Roberts is one of those stars that brings a lot with her to a film: both good and bad con- notations. It’s generally safe to bet that (more often than not) she will play a loveable protago- nist that fights for a good cause while simultaneously falling head over heels in love with a scruffy gentleman. ‘ I may as well stop dancing around the two-word label of her genre of choice: the chick flick.
