I wish to convey special thanks to Kristy Nelson who served as my research assistant during the first half of 1997 with support from the Council on International Programs at Iowa State University.

Through her efforts, several hundred additional significant Web resources were fully described and subsequently incorporated within the CyberStacks(sm) collection. I am grateful for her critical judgment, her concise yet thorough summaries, and her tenacity and discipline in resolving problems associated with a number of significant yet highly fluid sites. Most of all, I wish to thank her for her enthusiasm and interest in the CyberStacks(sm) vision.
