H-NET: HUMANITIES ON-LINE

======================================================= H-Net Announces 58 Scholarly Lists for Humanists & Social Scientists March 23, 1995 please circulate

A. The Information Revolution is happening now. Dramatic changes are underway in the electronic 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 and historical societies. B. H-Net sponsors 58 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 24,000 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. 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 archives, and reports on new software, datasets and cd-roms. Subscribers write in with questions, comments, and reports, and sometimes with mini-essays of a page or two. Important items are stored on our gopher.
