If you can't login via the web at 
<http://lists.webjunction.org/mailman/listinfo/web4lib>, or get a 
password emailed to you to connect, then you may need to email me 
personally. But please keep in mind that I'm actually supposed to be on 
vacation at the moment, so it may be a few days before I can get to it 
since my Internet connection times may be brief, if at all. Thanks,
Roy
