I'm encountering the informal "can you help me with.." at work. I've 
established two stock answers. First if its something that takes time to 
figure out the answer and the person asking is trying to avoid that extra 
effort by trying to get me to figure out the solution I say quite honestly 
that I don't know... For those times that I'm asked for help because the 
person hasn't bothered to learn when previous help has been delivered I 
simply offer to help at the end of the day when work is finished. This 
usually results in the person looking for their own notes or solving the 
problem on their own.
Are libraries called libraries or are they dubbed media centers? Needham;s 
library has certainly taken the lead in helping all library users from senior 
retirees to grade school kids to use the InterNet and the new array of CDs.
