H-NET: HUMANITIES ON-LINE
=======================================================
H-Net Announces 73 Scholarly Lists for Humanists
& Social Scientists
January 1, 1996 please circulate
The Information Revolution is bringing dramatic changes in the
communications infrastructure worldwide, especially the Internet
system that links academia together in a fast, free and friendly
environment. H-Net is an international initiative to assist
humanities scholars and teachers 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 73 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 36,000 subscribers in 68 countries.
Each list publishes 15-60 messages a week. Subscription
applications are solicited from scholars, teachers, professors,
researchers, graduate students, journalists, librarians and
archivists. (Undergraduates need written permission from their
professor.) Each list has its own "personality," 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 and
several other universities.
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 reviews of books, articles,
software, and museum exhibits. (To get all of these, subscribe to
H-REVIEW). They post 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. Our weekly Job Guide
lists history jobs worldwide. Weekly NCC reports from Washington
cover developments that affect the humanities. Subscribers write
in with questions, comments, and reports, and often 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 WWW. Our World
Wide Web (WWW) has home pages for each of the lists, and is
becoming a major resource in its own right.
