Cathy and the Group,

I, too, have asked for such a list.  I had hoped that if one didn't
exist, someone would begin one.  You know, if there were an address, some
of us might contribute at least the lists from our state award committees
(Texas Bluebonnet Award, Texas Loanstar, etc.).

Another interesting list might be one where each of us named 3 or 5 of
what we consider the most important reading material for the age group we
work with.  I realize making those choices would be very difficult.

If I can get the time and a student trained, that sounds like a good
*student* project for one who is interested in reading as well as
technology.  A couple of my teachers have agreed to allow the use of
their e-mail addresses because they aren't interested in getting
online.  One might be the elementary address and the other the high
school address.

Because of our current automation efforts (still barcoding) and my
involvement with the LM_NET directory (BIG), I'm not quite ready to take
on another project just yet.  If anyone out there has a student who needs
a good project, feel free ...... :-)  In the meantime, I'll keep the idea
percolating for the future.
