Katrina and library disaster recovery links

C|Net has a nice list of sites you can visit to learn about hurricane Katrina and places to which you can submit help. I heard many of these mentioned on NPR this morning as well.

On a related note there are many libraries in the region in which Katrina struck. Here are a few links related to disaster recovery and libraries. This is by no means a comprehensive list--it just gives you an idea as to what type of materials are available for the libraries, archives, and museums that will have to rebuild.
