Science Fiction and Fantasy Bibliographies on the Web

I have created this page after some discussion with Fiona Kelleghan on how difficult it is fo find information on the web. The idea is that this page will contain pointers to sites of interest to bibliographical researchers in the field of science fiction and fantasy.

If you know of a site that would fit in here, no matter how small, please send me a message. If it's in a non-English language that makes it even more interesting. English-language science fiction is reasonably easy to find information about.
