Nettrainers --

In preparation for a course for senior reference librarians, I am trying to
ensure that I have identified all the major "goldmine" virtual reference
desk
starting points.   I'm here to ask Nettrainers if I have MISSED any:  these
would be the carefully selected, annotated lists of resources that are
intended to cover ALL subjects, that several libraries across the
country/planet have produced and keep updated to help people access
resources when they don't know where to begin.

I would very much appreciate if those of you who conduct similar classes
could look at my list and if some glaring omission pops out, could you
please advise me? (address at bottom of page)

Many thanks :)

My current list of goldmines are:
