> H-Net Announces 67 Scholarly Lists for Humanists
> & Social Scientists
> May 17, 1995 please circulate
>
> A. The Information Revolution is bringing dramatic changes in the
> communications infrastructure worldwide, especially the Internet
> system that links academics together in a fast, free and friendly
> environment. H-Net is an international initiative to assist
> scholars to go on-line, using their personal computers. It
> operates daily newsletters edited by some 130 scholars in North
> America, Europe, and the Pacific. H-Net has financial support
> from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and is hosted by
> Michigan State University, the University of Illinois-Chicago, and
> several other schools.
> B. H-Net sponsors 67 electronic discussion groups or "lists" by
> and for professional scholars in the humanities and social
> sciences. Subscribers automatically receive messages in their
> computer mailboxes. These messages can be saved, discarded,
> downloaded to a PC, copied, printed out, or relayed to someone
> else. Best of all, the reader can immediately REPLY. The lists
> are email newsletters that are published daily. Currently our
> lists have over 26,000 subscribers in 59 countries. They receive
> an average of 15-60 messages a week. Subscription applications are
> solicited from scholars, college professors, researchers, graduate
> students, librarians and archivists. Each list is edited by one
> or more scholars and has a board of editors; most of the lists are
> cosponsored by one or more professional societies. The editors
> control the flow of messages and reject flames and items
> unsuitable for a scholarly discussion group.
> The goals of H-NET lists are to enable scholars to easily
> communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss
> new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share
> information on electronic databases; and to test new ideas and
> share comments on current historiography. H-Net was created to
> provide a positive, supportive, equalitarian environment for the
> friendly exchange of ideas and scholarly resources. Regular
> reports from Washington cover developments that affect the
> humanities. The lists feature dialogues in the discipline. They
> commission original book and museum reviews, and post job
> announcements, syllabi, course outlines, class handouts,
> bibliographies, listings of new sources, guides to online library
> catalogs and Internet resources, and reports on new software,
> datasets, cd-roms and World Wide Web sites. Subscribers write in
> with questions, comments, and reports, and sometimes with
> mini-essays of a page or two. Important items are permanently
> stored for easy access via gopher and WWW.
> Regarding Book Reviews, please contact Professor Mark Kornbluh,
