I've gotten a number of requests from other websites to put their link on my website. It's basically a good idea, but I won't be able to evaluate them fully. So the following are some of the links requested (and some others I know of) that I hope will be helpful; they are all, as far as I know, non-profits. if you think they are inappropriate or not helpful, or if thelinks no longer workd, please contact me.
