It was requested I send a HIT for the answers: My best source, that I found was the Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/loc/cfbook >From that source I copied those I found interesting. A copy of it is below. One response mentioned ala.org for events, but I found that to be very limited in the number of specials. Another response mentioned the LM_NET page of links at http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/ and going to the archives. I could not find anything there; maybe I did not look at the right links. Hope this is helpful for 1st yearers.
