For a general view of the issue, you might want to look at the two articles I did on this topic, Stop the World, I Want To Catch Up, Part I http://marylaine.com/exlibris/xlib137.html and part II, with my readers' responses, http://marylaine.com/exlibris/xlib148.html, as well as Steven Bell's Keeping Up page, http://staff.philau.edu/bells/keepup. To see the web sites I check on a routine basis, you can take a look at my personal start page at http://marylaine.com/home.html
