Guidelines for linking to other Web sites

[Rfaraby]

Dear friends,

I work at a special library which serves members of the American 
Occupational Therapy Association. We are in the process of 
developing links to Internet sites related to the profession of 
occupational therapy. I was assigned to research how other 
associations/libraries make their selection of who to link to. We 
are getting a huge number of people who would like us to add them 
to our home page links. Needless to say some of these sites are 
good, some are bad. Has anybody encountered this problem? How does 
one develop objective and systematic criteria for selection of such 
material? Your insights, experiences, suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

I enjoy reading your messages.

Cheers,
