We use information we have received unaltered. We<br />
translate materials from foreign languages into our<br />
local language. We provide information to users by<br />
mail or other non-electronic means. We provide<br />
information to users electronically (by e-mail,<br />
diskette, CD-ROM, online, web-site, etc.). Users<br />
