Due to the explosively exponential growth of such on-line resources, it is not possible to present a thorough listing. A great number more can be found through the use of efficient, widely available search engines. This list is intended to provide access to important web resources that can, themselves, be used to access more information. If you know of web documents that you believe would be useful to list here, please make the suggestion to me by email: sasweb@asu.edu
