LM_NET Archive



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.
