> H-Net Announces 70 Scholarly Lists for Humanists
> & Social Scientists
> August 19, 1995 please circulate
>
> 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. We operate
> daily newsletters edited by some 140 scholars in North America,
> Europe, Africa, and the Pacific.
> H-Net sponsors 70 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. There is currently
> no subscription charge or fee of any kind.
> H-Net lists reach over 30,000 subscribers in 61 countries.
> Each lists publishes 15-60 messages a week. Subscription
> applications are solicited from scholars, college professors,
> researchers, graduate students, librarians and archivists. Each
> list is edited by a team of scholars and has a board of editors;
> most of the lists are cosponsored by a professional society. The
> editors control the flow of messages, commission reviews, and
> reject flames and items unsuitable for a scholarly discussion
> group. They also control H-Net, which 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.
> 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. 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. Regular reports from
> Washington cover developments that affect the humanities.
> Subscribers write in with questions, comments, and reports, and
> sometimes with mini-essays of a page or two. The logs of all
> messages are permanently saved and can easily be searched.
> Important items are permanently stored for easy access via gopher
> and [soon] WWW.
