Class Notes and Links for Holy Spirit's Internet Class

This is most likely going to end up as a collection of links to many of the sites we discussed in class. Please feel free to follow the links and explore!

FLASH: The name of the "other" book site which I could not remember was Books.com (I thought it was something simple...) You might also want to check out this direct link to their Free Electronic Library. (Yet another chance to download some free stuff to your computer! These are the free books which I mentioned a week or so ago. I personally love real books, but these electronic versions are handy for browsing and searching.)

See below for link to travel information. If there are any other links that you want me to add to this page, please send me email.
