Thank you for your answer. I've added your Web Bookmarks onto my
Netscape Bookmark list: you seem to have created a public library version
of Yahoo or Webcrawler!

One of my concerns is that many libraries may not have access to the
Web either now or after June 30th. I speak out of unenlightened
self-interest because the branches of LA Public Library will not have
Web access for an unspecified amount of time after June 30th. If the
INFOPEOPLE Gopher will be maintained, perhaps your BPL Bookmarks for Gopher
could be added to it and--time and staffing allowing--maintained to be
reasonably current so that libraries limited to Gopher access could benefit.
Of course, I'm being remarkably presumptuous about other people's work
and time--it's easy for me to say!
