About List of Lists
<http://www.specialissues.com/lol/dispLOLIntro.cfm>
Price's List of Lists (LOL) was started around 1998 and maintained by Gary
Price for many years. The LOL grew, and Gary's commitment to other
projects and speaking engagements made the upkeep of the LOL impossible.
In late 2000, Gary approached Trip Wyckoff, of Specialissues.com, about
taking over the upkeep and expansion of the LOL. By 2002 the online
database and structure to maintain and organize the LOL was in place and
in October 2002 the LOL was transferred to Specialissues.com.
The List of Lists is a database of ranked listings of companies, people
and resources freely available on the Internet. Content comes from a
number of sources including: Specialissues.com, Gary Price's
"ResourceShelf" and individual users of the LOL.
The LOL is organized by subject headings based on the two-digit 1997 U.S.
NAICS Codes. There is hope to expand the subject headings to include more
detail, but at this time these are only headings.
There is no formal "search function" for the LOL. However, one can search
for content within each of the subject headings using your browser's
"Find" function. There is also a masterlist of all magazines available in
the LOL. The masterlist entry pulls all of a magazine's rankings from all
of the different subject headings into one place.
The LOL is a free service of Specialissues.com and no password is needed
to access the LOL.

As always, if you encounter any dead links in any of the above links
above, try these remedies that are now archived on my General Internet &

How to Update Dead Links in Any Guide Yourself
<http://guides.temple.edu/aecontent.php?pid=1282>
<http://guides.temple.edu/general-internet>
There are two methods that I most recommend for "updating" dead links in
any list of websites. These are techniques that can be especially useful
when one finds a resource they simply must see, only to find the website
is gone when the hyperlink is clicked.
First try the website URL in the Internet Archive.
Secondly search the name of the website enclosed in quotation marks in:
Google
http://www.google.com
Google News
http://www.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn&q=
Google Scholar
http://scholar.google.com/schhp?hl=en&q=&tab=ns
Google Government
http://www.google.com/ig/usgov
The result of these searches may be finding the old site at a new location
or finding other relevant content that you can use in place of the
deceased
website.
.

Tourism subject guide in the New Additions section is this resource:
