...links from the Sumter and Marion County library systems to the FL Victim Services Directory. http://myfloridalegal.com/directory

Got one after a few requests over less than a week I believe at Lake County Library System in 2006. http://lakeline.lib.fl.us/internet_d...oryCategory=24

Some FL public libraries have taken going on eight years and more to get a link to this resource.

It is very frustrating to say the least when you are trying to get links like this at the Lake County Library System http://lakeline.lib.fl.us/internet_d...oryCategory=24 from libraries all over the US to their respective victims services directories-- if that state even has one that is-- and your home town library systems (the Villages) do not have a link that works to the FL Victim Services Directory.

Fought for 4 years or so for working links from Palm Harbor's 2 public libraries-- and finally got them in mid 2004 http://www.eastlakelibrary.org/ELCL/links.htm http://www.palmharborlibrary.org/links/florida.htm-- to this Victim Service Directory, but it kind of hurts my credibility when I e-mail from the Villages suggesting librarians get a link to their states' versions of a resource list for victims and two of the three library systems in TV do not even have these links.

Maybe some other TOTV users could e-mail the Sumter and Marion County librarians to get links to the FL Victim Services Directory. I doubt if this would cost much money or time on the web master's time.

Thought Mr. Gary Corsair's May 28, 2007 article in the Villages Daily Sun on me and my efforts in this area of links for victims/survivors from the TV would prompt some movement in this area on the part of Sumter and Marion County librarians, but from their websites nothing much has happened.
