ANNOUNCING H-SCHOLAR
H-NET List for Independent Scholars and Scholarship
Sponsored by the National Coalition for Independent Scholars,
H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences On-line, and Michigan State
University
H-Scholar is a moderated internet discussion forum sponsored by the
National Coalition of Independent Scholars. Its purposes are: assisting
independent scholars to share their work and research interests with
the larger community, enhancing their productivity by promoting the
sharing of information and resources, facilitating communication
between independent and academically affiliated scholars with shared
interests and concerns, providing information about issues of general
interest to all working scholars regardless of their discipline or
situation and creating a forum for discussion of specific scholarly
issues across disciplinary boundaries. Its intended audience includes
not only NCIS members, but anyone engaged in serious scholarly research
that is not supported by institutional resources, academics interested
in issues of concern to independent scholars, and persons interested in
ways to build communication between scholars and the general public.
Its editorial focus will be on encouraging scholars to assist each
other to pursue their research interests. This includes discussions
both of (a) intellectual issues in scholarship and (b) practical
concerns. The editors will limit discussions of intellectual issues to
those of general scholarly interest, or those of interest to scholars
in more than a single field of work: where possible they will refer
more specific issues,to another H-Net list. The list also hopes to
carry reviews of books and electronic/multi-media publications
presenting intellectual issues in scholarship that are of general or
broad interest, as described above. WWW and other Internet sites may be
reviewed, along with print material, and, in any case, reviews will
cover a wide diversity of resources.
The H-Scholar list is co-edited by Margaret DeLacy, Joanne Lafler,
Barbara Bell, Anne Lowenthal, Neala Schluening, and Diane Calabrese. It
is sponsored by the National Coalition of Independent Scholars and is
advised by a board of scholars. The editors will retain discretion to
reject personal criticisms, the publication of sensitive or personal
information (such as the home address of a third party), irrelevant or
excessively long or frequent submissions, overly-extended discussions
of a single issue, and commercial or self-interested announcements.
