In surfing around various library Web sites this morning I found this:
Granted, I’ve not seen an “under construction” page in a while but this might as well be one. “email: pending”!? Either you have an e-mail address or not. If you don’t (and just why doesn’t the library have an e-mail address?) then don’t bother listing the fact that you’re working on getting one. Just leave it out, and when you do have an e-mail address, then list it on the site. Please, don’t tease your users.
