• a collection of bibliographies on various subtopics;
• a series of links to resources of interest to rhetorical scholars.

This is where the next set of elements included in the site plays an important role in beginning to answer LeFevre's "Why?" question.

• making available different kinds of material and data for readers;
• possibly augmenting the list of what counts as published and/or publishable;
• providing a venue for publication of native hypertext.
