I thought we were only searching for Library and Librarian :)

I don't mind that you found them - I'll gladly seek them out and fix them!!!

I'm assuming you mean jenkinslaw.org, since that's your email addy.

Not to be...difficult, but using one of my favorite command line tricks, I 
discovered at least some misspellings:

jenkinslaw.org/collection/index.php has
resources misspelled:

"Jenkins Automated Catalog [JAC Plus]
Access Jenkins' holdings and many full text resouces with our easy-to-use 
Web catalog."

Services page has misspelling of individual (as indivdual) somewhere, 
didn't bother actually surfing to it.


Other than those two, looks much better than my pages ;).

I only checked what seemed like the home page and the four major sections.


The trick is

lynx -source http://jenkinslaw.org/collection/index.php | aspell -l -H

Not really complicated, but I suppose it could still be considered a 
trick.

I try to do this more and more since nowdays most pages are assembled from 
so many sources (think CMS).  One could probably create a perl script 
quite easily that would do the same, or do wget to download the pages and 
run a spell check on them there.
