Thanks Harold. As Nick said in his comment, "You have helped me understand what I do!" . Actually, I have understood this for a long time as I've been collecting and sharing information, via the Tutor/Mentor Connection, since the early 1990s.

Here's a quote that I've had on the strategy page of my web site since early 2000s.

"When nonprofit and community leaders share ideas, insights and information in ways that promote social impact...knowledge-sharing can improve organizational effectiveness. When we share what works and what doesn't... it results in accelerated learning, less reinventing the wheel, better service, and measurable results."
2003 quote by Mr. Tim Wilmot. Chief Knowledge and Evaluation Officer, Charles and Helen Schwab Foundation

The challenge for me, and probably many others, is educating others to appreciate and value this work, and to attract consistent revenue to maintain the information library, add to it, share it so others know it's there, and to help people find and use the information in the library...and to pay myself a modest salary so I can pay my bills and raise my own family.

I've been building my library on-line since 1998...and was building it off-line since 1990. Thus, for almost 20 years I've had to patch together a mix of supporters to keep it available. Lots of challenges.
