As you may recall, we were told a couple of months ago that the FAQ database would be frozen for some time (until a new platform for it became available) and that one would not then be able to update entries, so time pressure was on to get everything up to date.
Since it's been a few months, some things then up to date no longer are -- after getting complaints about a couple of them, I tried to log in to fix them and discovered that there was no problem: I could get in and edit just as before. I'm not sure if the FAQ db never actually was frozen or if it became unfrozen and no one told us, but in any case if you run across entries that need updating (or things for which whole new entries are needed) let me know and I'll handle them.

A new entry has been added to the Libraries FAQ for questions related to locating federal and state tax forms. The short answer is that the Libraries do not maintain paper copies for distribution but link users to the revenue department web sites. All of these links are found on Judy Wells' Tax Form Assistance page http://www.lib.umn.edu/libdata/page.phtml?page_id=1043
Below are are the FAQ subject categories in use as of 12 April 2005. (Some, of course, have many entries under the category, others only one or two. / Denny
