That is because the lists run by Merlin have been updated and moved to a new server. The links on the Schlib wiki will be fixed accordingly so you can always check there for the most recent information. http://schlib.pbworks.com Unfortunately, the archives have disappeared but if we can get the file, we'll post it online at the wiki if you want to search it for past messages. The Twitter account at http://twitter.com/schlib is another place to get information. While we're on the topic of Twitter, here are some recent Schlib postings from there: 1.
