- Lynette,
-
- I have found the interest-groups list from ftp.nisc.sri.com cumbersome to
- work with because it's so large. Carol Taylor (ctaylor@du.edu) recently
- shared the following information with me about a printed directory:

- I think the best resource that I've found for locating lists is the WAIS
- server called mailing lists. It tracks over 6,000 email discussion lists
- and news groups. Best of all, you can search it to find only those lists
- and groups that relate to a particular topic. You should be able to query
- with a variety of WAIS software or from just about any Gopher system.
-
- I hope that helps.
