Well, she didn't _exactly_ say it wasn't useful; just that it contains
brokens links (which I'm sure all directories of it's type do).  A quick
example:  The LII category for Tolkien:

http://www.lii.org/search?searchtype=subject;query=Tolkien,+J.+R.+R.+(John+R
onald+Reuel),+1892-1973;

(sorry about the length of that URL).  The third entry (for "One Ring: The
Complete Guide to Tolklien Online") is incorrect, and has been since
February when that site changed service providers.  I know because I moved
it :)
