1.  On-line materials

Think.com maintains a directory of materials relating to Z39.50
implementations, for anonymous ftp, in directory 
Subdirectory Z3950/ZIG is an archive of implementation documents.

The mailing list Z3950IW@NERVM.BITNET provides discussions of
Z39.50 implementation and related issues.

Think.com runs the "Forum on Wide Airea Information Servers and
Electronic Publishing" (known more briefly as the WAIS-discussion
digest), a news group moderated by Brewster Kahle.  It is available
as the Project Athena discuss meeting "WAIS redist".
