[Publib] another new role for libraries?

[goodgion at wethersfieldlibrary.org]

An AP story in today's Hartford Courant:

In Britain, to avoid what can be a very long wait time for National Health Service assistance, people with panic attacks, mild depression or phobias are using a new computer program called Fearfighter.   "Since February...many British psychiatric patients have skiped the weekly sessions at their doctor's office.  Instead they now log on at home, or go to libraries to use computers designated to run the programs, where there is a health professional ready to help if necessary."
