I know very little about the good Internet Web sites for
libertarianism, (and sorry to hear about the above) however, the
following books are the first that I recommend to anyone who is
interested in investigating libertarianism:

David Friedman: _Machinery of Freedom_
(see: http://www.best.com/~ddfr/#mybooks)

Henry Hazlitt: _Economics in One Lesson_
(see: http://www.hazlitt.org/)

If you still are interested to learn more of the political
libertarianism philosophy, then continue with the great classic:

Frederick A. Hayak: _The Road to Serfdom_
(see: http://people.clarityconnect.com/webpages3/davek/docs/HAYSERF.HTML)
 
And Chris Hibbert has reminded us about the Nolan Chart, which
you might find useful and interesting:
