Ragnar (and Rick)--

my problem is more one of time management than reading material--but I
appreciate your dilemma. I found this site some months ago, and use it
frequently:

http://www.acs.ryerson.ca:80/~journal/megasources.html

BEWARE--it is truly a megasources source, and relatively well maintained.
You'll be tempted to spend a considerable amount of time exploring. It's
well organized, though, and if you run through the first page thoroughly
before you venture out, you'll get a good idea of what it can do for you.

Hope it helps, even if just a little.

By the way, the Organizational Development Network puts out a periodical
that lists some good reading sources.
