Hello everyone,

I'd be grateful for any advice on handling long lists of resources. Can
anyone suggest particularly elegant ways to ease the navigation burden on a
page like this:



This is a canonical list and the designer warns me that it will continue to
grow. I suspect the average screen reader user will hear "page has one
zillion links" and just open a text search, but there must be some good
strategies for organizing things like this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

How about cutting it up into different pages with A-Z topics and provide a
search facility?
