[WEB4LIB] disaster resources

[gwasdin at nypl.org]

Hi all

As many of you may have heard, so many of the online resources out there
have proved to be either hoaxes, or just very inaccurate.  Many of the
databases for victims and survivors, for instance, have allowed anyone to
add information (one of which I sent out earlier this week).

There is a verifiable resource which is being updated only by the NYC
hospitals which would be more authoritative.  It has a numeric URL, so is
most easily found by going to http://www.cbsnewyork.com/.  The link is on
the right side of the screen, labeled Official Site:  World Trade Center
Victims Who Were Taken to Area Hospitals.

I have been trying to keep up with information on our web page for our
patrons here in Central Connecticut.  We tried to offer sites of local
focus as well as more general resources.  Many of these sites have been
mentioned on this list, and I thank you all.
