Data accessed commercial networks are not covered in this bibliography. See the section Online Academic Conferences (LISTS) and Electronic Journals/Newsletters for descriptions and subscription information of the conferences listed below.  Online Academic Conferences (LISTS) with Archived Documents Only those files directly relevant to Religious Studies have been documented. HUMANIST Listserv@brownvm IOUDAIOS Listserv@yorkvm1 or @vm1.yorku.ca IOUD-REV Listserv@yorkvm1 or @vm1.yorku.ca JUDAICA Listserv@taunivm ORTHODOX Listserv@indycms RELIGION Listserv@harvarda or @harvarda.harvard.edu (Note - to retrieve the files from RELIGION, you must first subscribe to the list). NB - To retrieve the index of a listserv list's files, send the command INDEX listname (where listname is the name of the list) to LISTSERV@node (where node is the address of the list). Some lists require that you subscribe to them before accessing their filelist index. 1.B -- Bibliographic Conventions For the purposes of facilitating acess to a new medium, the bibliographic format followed in this document is as follows: Author or document is listed first (with the exception of reviewed documents) Full Title Date (usually the date of electronic publication or last revision) Name of the Primary Listserv List Location (indicated by the phrase, "Available from ....,) - While many douments are on a number of lists, this bibliography only indicates the primary source. Listserv Addresses (an attempt has been made to give both BITNET and Internet adresses) Listserv Document Name (this always has two parts and is in capital letters) FTP Addresss (if available) FTP Directory FTP Filename (these are usually case sensitive and have been recorded as they appear). For information on how to cite electronic documents, see the document ???. 1.C -- A Note to Listowners, Authors and Maintainers of Networked Documents I suggest that to facilitate networked research, listowners, FTP archive maintainers and authors inform me when a new document of relevance to Religious Studies is placed on a fileserver. This cooperation will ensure that I am able to maintain an updated bibliography for the research community. It is also recommended that all listowners allow for anonymous (non-list member) access to to their Listserv filelists. Researchers should not have to become a member of a discussion group to retrieve archived documents of general interest. Networked texts should be made available via both FTP and Listserv, so as to ensure that all systems have access to the archived material. Whenever possible, texts that have been zipped or compressed should also be available as a straight low ascii file. Many network users are unable to either unzip (.zip) or uncompress (.Z) files, and many sites do not have FTP capability. Archives should provide an non-profit service that will mail networked files on a diskette to users without full access. These recommendations will ensure that the Net is as user- fiendly as possible. Finally, I also recommend that the following information be placed on each electronic file to facilitate citation and retrieval: Listserv Filename Location (Listserv Address) FTP Filename FTP Location (including directory) Author's Address Date of Publication (electronic or otherwise)  SECTION I -- Network Accessible Documents   Anthropology  Abstracts of PH.D.

Lists in Review Supplements  A supplement to the CONTENTS Project (see below), Lists in Review, provides an overview of many of the Listserv lists (online academic conferences) of relevance to Religious Studies. A team of editors surveys individual lists and records lists of subject keywords that will serve to indicate what has been discussed on any given online conference. These list summaries are compiled by the supplement editor and posted as a short file to CONTENTS and archived on a fileserver. This collection will allow networked researchers to quickly survey what has been discussed on dozens of lists and then retrieve past conversations from a list's logbook. If you would like to collect topic keywords from your favorite Listserv list for _Lists in Review_, please contact the LIR editor, Michael T. Bradley, Jr. at mtb3@cunixf (BITNET) or mtb3@cunixf.cc,columbia.edu. Bradley, Michael T. (ed.) Lists in Review Supplement #1.

About the Coombspapers Data Bank COOMBSPAPERS Social Sciences Research Data Bank was established on 3 December 1991 to act as a world's leading electronic repository of the social science & humanities research papers and documents. These include offprints, departmental publications, specialist bibliographies, directories, abstracts of theses and other high-grade research material produced (or deposited) at the Research School of Pacific Studies and Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra. In addition, COOMBSPAPERS Data Bank is intended to serve also as a major Australian electronic repository of quality research materials dealing with the SouthEast and NorthEast Asian areas, as well as Buddhism, Taoism and other oriental religions. Its collection expands at a brisk pace and is available to Internet users world-wide 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week via the anonymous ftp or fetch procedure. Moreover, since the 21st of May 92 selected Coombspapers materials have also been used to form a series of the WAIS [Wide Area Information Servers] specialist databases named: ANU-Aboriginal-Studies, ANU-Asian-Religions, ANU-Pacific-Linguistics, ANU-Pacific-Manuscripts, ANU-SocSci-Netlore and ANU-Thai-Yunnan respectively. The COOMBSPAPERS Data Bank is maintained and administered by the Coombs Computing Unit, RSSS/RSPacS. Currently (June 92) the electronic research collection comprises 323 ASCII files totalling approx. 12.8 Mb of data. Inquires should be directed to: Dr T. Matthew Ciolek, Coombs Computing Unit, RSPacS/RSSS Australian National University, GPO Box 4, Canberra A.C.T. 2601. Phone (Intl.) + 61 6 249 2214, Fax (Intl.) + 61 6 257 1893  Where to find other collections of the Coombspapers Data Bank The following information can be acquired from the file - INDEX - which can be retrieved from the node coombs.anu.edu in the directory /coombspapers. Details of the current holdings of the COOMBSPAPERS collection are given in it's INDEX file. They are also available via TELNET from one of the ARCHIE world-wide databases of files kept by the anonymous FTP sites (e.g. archie.au in Australia, archie.ans.net in USA [NY], archie.mcgill.ca in Canada or archie.funet.fi in Finland). Since 10th April 1992 the COOMBSPAPERS files are fully mirrored (on daily basis) by wuarchive.wustl.edu site located at the Washington University, St. Louis, USA [sub-directory /doc/coombspapers]. Since 10th April 1992 the COOMBSPAPERS files are fully mirrored (on weekly basis) by ftp.uu.net site located at the US national gateway, California, USA. [sub-directory /doc/coombspapers]. Since 16th April 1992 the COOMBSPAPERS files are fully mirrored (on irregular basis) by capella.eetech.mcgill.ca site located at the McGill Univ., Canada. [sub-directory /wuarchive/doc/coombspapers]. Since 28th April 1992 the COOMBSPAPERS files are fully mirrored (on weekly basis) by samba.acs.unc.edu site located at the Univ. of Nth Carolina, USA. [sub-directory pub/wuarchive/doc/coombspapers]. These arrangements allow people in North America and Europe to fetch copies of articles without having to traverse the overloaded trans-Pacific link.  The Electronic Buddhist Archives A general information file and index of FTP files - about-electr-buddh- archiv.txt - can be retrieved from the node coombs.anu.edu in the directory /coombspapers/otherwork/ electronic-buddhist-archives. Files relevant to religious studies have been documented in the Electric Mystic's Guide.  About the Electronic Buddhist Archives at Coombspapers Research Data Bank It is with the great pride, delight and cheerfulness that members of the Sydney Zen Center notify their fellow-sitters and Zen friends in Australia and overseas that a promising and well-sized kernel of the Electronic Buddhist Archives has been now well and truly established. The Electronic Buddhist Archives are designed to act as a world-wide repository of computer files with documents and materials of relevance to practitioners as well as students and researchers of Buddhism, Taoism and other eastern religions. They constitute an important part of a larger project, namely that of the COOMBSPAPERS SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH DATA BANK recently created at the Australian National University, Canberra. The Coombspapers databank (and therefore the contents of it's Electronic Buddhist Archives subdirectory) can be accessed (and it's collection copied) free of charge from anywhere in the world using the standard anonymous FTP (ftp = file transfer protocol) procedure by anyone with an access to the Internet computer network. It is hoped that the extraordinary ease and speed with which documents and materials forming the EBA collection can be located, copied, duplicated and transmitted from person to person, from Sangha to Sangha, from city to city, from continent to continent will foster daily regular exchange of information and ideas between students and practitioners of Buddhism all over this planet. Maybe, one day, this instantaneous communicational immediacy will facilitate the birth of a vast, harmonious and intricate Earth-wide Sangha.  An Invitation to Join the Coombspapers Data Bank Teachers, students and researchers of Buddhism as well as teachers, students and researchers of other eastern religions are wholeheartedly invited to deposit with the Electronic Buddhist Archives of the Coombspapers databank any high-grade documents pertaining to Buddhist matters or studies as long as these documents are not already copyrighted by someone else and as long as the deposited documents may be freely disseminated via the AARNET/INTERNET and other academic networks. Any quality documents - such as bibliographies, research documents, abstracts of scholarly papers, journal and newsletters articles, lists of Buddhist centers and organisations, policy documents of such organisations, transcripts of lectures, sermons and teishos given by contemporary Buddhist teachers, translations of the modern day as well as ancient religious texts and commentaries, samples and specimens of fine Buddhist prose and poetry - all these documents may be sent electronically to the Coombspapers and be deposited there (using the ftp command 'put') in the /coombspapers/inboundpapers area of the Coombspapers electronic archive. There they will be evaluated by the administrators of the Coombspapers Social Sciences Research Data Bank and then, upon being accepted for the archive's collection, suitably named and placed in appropriate sub-directory. Individuals and Buddhist groups without a convenient access to the network may supply the archival materials on a computer disk (DOS or Macintosh) with all files saved as plain text (ASCII) documents. Also, an important point: the Electronic Buddhist Archives are NOT ABLE, unfortunately, to accept for the safe-keeping and dissemination the non-electronic (i.e. paper) documents. Finally, please note that the ANU's Coombs Computing Unit, who administers and maintains the Coombspapers archives, reserves the right to exclude from the Coombspaper electronic collection any document found to be unsuitable because of its scope, content, format or size. Please direct any inquiries or correspondence to: Dr T. Matthew Ciolek, or Mr Dave Ritchie, Coombspapers Administrators, Coombs Computing Unit, RSPacS/RSSS, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia e-mail (INTERNET) coombspapers@coombs.anu.edu.au  About Documents Comprising the Coombspapers Collection * Documents in the COOMBSPAPERS Data Bank are kept as ASCII (plain text) files. Some of the larger documents are stored in a compressed form to save the storage space and minimise network transmission times. All materials are freely available for noncommercial use by individual scholars, computer conferences, and libraries linked to the AARNET/ INTERNET and other academic networks and can be acquired world-wide from a sub-directory /coombspapers via anonymous FTP on the node coombs.anu.edu.au * Research documents intended for the Coombspapers Data Bank should be of the highest possible academic standard both in terms of their content and their structure. * It is mandatory for each document to contain in it's first few lines the following information: - the following formula : "[This document can be acquired from a sub-directory coombspapers via anonymous FTP on the node COOMBS.ANU.EDU.AU] " - date of the document's last update/modification - full details (name, postal address, institutional affiliation, phone nbrs, email address etc) of the author/owner of the document in question. * These documents are to be saved in the text only (ASCII) format and should not exceed 100 Kb. * Documents in excess of 100 Kb limit should be divided into smaller and clearly numbered files: (e.g. filename1-5, filename2-5, ... filename5-5). * Documents meeting the above criteria may be electronically placed (using ftp command 'put') within the 'inboundpapers' sub-directory of the coombspapers data bank. Alternatively, suitable files can be supplied on a computer diskette sent to the Coombspapers Administrator (see address below). Coombs Computing Services Unit reserves reserves all rights to the naming (and re-naming) of all electronic files included into the Coombspapers collection. Any inquires related to the above matters should be directed to the Coombspapers Administrator (address above).  The CONTENTS Project Archives   Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS Project Description ISSN 1188-5734 - An all electronic, network distributed serial for Religious Studies Purpose: To disseminate via the global computer networks; 1) The table of contents, standard bibliographic information, abstracts and reviews of new and recent publications in Religious Studies 2) Thesis and dissertations, subject bibliographies, glossaries, course syllabi and other pedagogical material. 3) Software reviews of computer programs relevant to Religious Studies research 4) Prepublication papers, dissertation abstracts, solicitations for manuscripts, and provide a central source of information on all networked documents of interest to Religious Studies and related fields. Goal: To provide a comprehensive network distributed source of information on Religious Studies publications, pedagogical and research resources and software tools. The Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS, has been made possible through support from the Research Centre for the Study of Religion, Department of Religious Studies, University of Ottawa. Overview: The RELIGIOUS STUDIES PUBLICATIONS JOURNAL, subtitled the CONTENTS project, is a networked electronic journal that brings together academic publishers and online scholars in Religious Studies and related fields. This journal provides an information service to academic publishers and the more than one thousand scholars in Religious Studies and related fields who are online with BITNET, Internet, and other international computer networks. CONTENTS' primary function is the posting of table of contents, standard bibliographic, pricing and ordering information, abstracts and reviews of new books and journal issues of relevance to academics in the broad field of Religious Studies. The project also publishes software reviews of programs essential to computer assisted research. The CONTENTS Project extends the scope of electronic publication by combining reviews and abstracts with table of contents and ordering information of new books and journals in print. Publishers are encouraged to provide an electronic mail contact address so as to enable CONTENTS' subscribers to order texts via the network. This electronic journal is designed in anticipation of the developing commercialization of the academic networks and anticipates the growing trend within publishing houses of accommodating individual chapter and single article purchases. The CONTENTS Project operates by obtaining permission from participating publishers to republish the table of contents from new and recent books and journals and disseminates this information in electronic text to its subscribers. To the table of contents is added information on the publisher, number of pages, price, abstracts and, if available, online ordering contact. Publishers also are encourage to submit abstracts, book notes and reviews for electronic republication. The CONTENTS Project will also post information on works in progress, conference announcements, solicitations for manuscripts, dissertations, networked documents and audio-visual resources of relevance to Religious Studies. All publication records posted by the CONTENTS project are archived via LISTSERV at Listserv@Uottawa or Listserv@Acadvm1.Uottawa.Ca and may be searched or downloaded by the network community. Eventually, all CONTENTS records will be fully searchable as an online public access database via TELNET. LISTS IN REVIEW: A supplement to CONTENTS, Lists in Review, provides an overview of many of the Listserv lists (online academic conferences) of relevance to Religious Studies. A team of editors surveys individual lists and records lists of subject keywords that will serve to indicate what has been discussed on any given online conference. These list summaries are compiled by the supplement editor and posted as a short file to CONTENTS and archived on a fileserver. This collection will allow networked researchers to quickly survey what has been discussed on dozens of lists and then retrieve past conversations from a list's logbook. If you would like to collect topic keywords from your favorite Listserv list for _Lists in Review_, please contact the LIR editor, Michael T. Bradley, Jr. at mtb3@cunixf (BITNET) or mtb3@cunixf.cc,columbia.edu.

AJIN is part of a worldwide effort known as the global Jewish information network, and joins other national efforts, including the Global Jewish Information Network project in Israel and the British Jewish Information Network (Brijnet) in Great Britain. AJIN will help plan and coordinate efforts by different groups in the United States to make user-friendly electronic communications accessible to all members of the Jewish community, both individuals and organizations, and will raise funds to help support these efforts. It will bring together, and include on its board of directors, representatives from a wide range of Jewish organizations as well as interested private individuals in order to lead a coordinated approach. AJIN will encourage and educate Jewish organizations to make the most effective use of communications networks to communicate internally, to communicate with their members and other Jewish organizations, and to bring their messages to the general public. It will help them decide how to connect to the global Jewish community, and will provide both training materials and volunteer consultants. AJIN will also publicize the value of electronic computer networks among individual members of the American Jewish community, and help provide efficient and inexpensive ways for them to electronically join the global Jewish community. Preliminary plans call for a two level approach to focus on establishing and improving electronic networking among both organizations and individual users. Organizations will generally use commercial networks to communicate quickly, inexpensively, and reliably, confident that messages they send will be received in minutes. Most individuals will use consumer networks or free bulletin boards which would enable them to correspond with other Jews and Jewish organizations using electronic mail. AJIN grew out of several initiatives, including the Global Jewish Information Network project, the Jewish Electronic Mail mailing list on Internet, the Israel.Nysernet project on Nysernet, and meetings at the General Assembly and Quarterly for the Council of Jewish Federations. The founders of AJIN realized there is a need for a central agency to coordinate efforts in order to speed up the process which they felt would inevitably lead to the electronic connection of the entire global Jewish community. The founders of AJIN include Rachel Dunaief, Chaim Dworkin, Jerry Krupnick, and Alan Stein, who will initially serve as the officers and who will also determine the composition of the board of directors. Ms. Dunaief, Dr. Dworkin and Mr. Krupnick have been installed as vice presidents, and Dr. Stein is serving as president. In keeping with the goals of AJIN, subject to New York State law, board of directors meetings will generally be held via electronic mail on Internet. Rachel Bork Dunaief (rdunaief@israel.nysernet.org) is a graduate of Brandeis University and the Wharton School of Business. She is a Marketing Manager of consumer communications services at AT&T. She is a member of the board of the New York Chapter of the Brandeis University Alumni Association. Jerry Krupnick (ujy-li@israel.nysernet.org) is a graduate of New York University and Brooklyn Law School. He is President of Kineret Kosher Foods and is the former President and a current member of the Board of Directors of The Greater Five Towns YM&YWHA. He is also a Board Member of the United Jewish Ys of Long Island and is currently serving as the Chairman of the Computer Committe of UJYs. He has received the National Kashruth Award of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America and the Shofar Award of the National Council of Young Israel. Chaim Dworkin (dworkin@israel.nysernet.org) earned his Ph.D. in Cell Biology, with studies in computer science, from Temple University. He is the executive director of Chai Computer Associates, a consulting firm specializing in communications, and is an Information Scientist working for Information Ventures, Inc., a Philadelphia firm which provides computerized information for researchers in Biology, Medicine, Physics, and Environmental Studies. Alan Stein (astein@israel.nysernet.org) is a graduate of Queens College and New York University, where he earned his Ph.D. in mathematics. He is an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Connecticut. He is currently chairman of the Federated/United Jewish Appeal Campaign for the Jewish Federation of Waterbury, which he has also served as president and as editor of Chavurah, its monthly community newspaper. AJIN requests nominations, including self-nominations, for its board of directors. Such nominations may be emailed to AJIN@ISRAEL.NYSERNET.ORG. All correspondence relating to AJIN may also be sent to the same electronic address. The American Jewish Information Network, Inc. ajin@israel.nysernet.org  The Israel Project at Nysernet Everything you ever wanted in Jewish Networking under a single roof! israel.nysernet.org is a project whose purpose is to provide a central location for access to Jewish lists and conferences that originate all over the world and to provide access to text files and programs of interest to Jews everywhere. Israel.nysernet.org currently hosts 11 active public lists plus a number of private lists. The following are the public lists. New lists are added constantly with approximately two dozen expected by summer. scj@israel.nysernet.org - soc.culture.jewish newsgroup as a list for those who cannot get newsgroups. sefarad@israel.nysernet.org - Sefardic Electronic Archive. Discussion of Sephardic studies and affairs. jem@israel.nysernet.org - Discussion of Jewish electronic networking. jem-mod@israel.nysernet.org - Support for moderators of Jewish lists. jai@israel.nysernet.org - Jewish Activism List. israeline@israel.nysernet.org - Israel press clippings via the Israel Consulate in New York. A summary of the current Israeli press and broadcast media. mail-jewish@israel.nysernet.org - Discussion of halacha and related issues. uja@israel.nysernet.org - United Jewish Appeal Mailing List bytetorah@israel.nysernet.org - A Byte of Torah. A weekly discussion of the parshat hashevuah. hillel@israel.nysernet.org - Hillel discussion list To subscribe to these lists send a message to listserv@israel.nysernet.org with one line in it saying: SUB listname your full name. So for Moise Pipik to subscribe to Israel Line he would send a message saying: SUB israeline Moishe Pipik. These lists are also available via nntp as newsgroups with domain israel. For more info contact Warren Burstein at the address below. In addition to the above lists, there are 16 lists of Jewish interest which are run on other machines but which are known to the israel.nysernet.org listserver. This means that if you want to contact a Jewish list but don't know where to contact it, you can send a message to our listserver and if we don't run the list the listserver will forward your message to the appropriate machine.

Further information is available on request from: Nick Thieberger Aboriginal Studies Electronic Data Archive, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, (AIATSIS), GPO Box 553, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia ph +61-6 246 1170 +61-6 249 7310 (fax) e-mail: aiatsis@peg.pegasus.oz.au (withinAustralia) aiatsis@peg.apc.org (outside Australia) What is the Aboriginal Studies Electronic Data Archive? The archive provides a service to researchers in the field of Aboriginal Studies. By accessing information in electronic form researchers can engage in comparative linguistic work, can locate references that are not available by keyword searching of catalogues, and can 'add value' to existing work (by producing various forms of output from existing data files). Researchers may request particular searches or other uses of the archive. The archive offers a free service of secure long term storage of electronic data. It also arranges for the production of information in electronic form from paper texts, using optical scanning technology. Data and scanned graphics can be obtained from the archive for use in literature production. The archive is available to researchers, subject to deposit and access conditions. It currently has material of the following types: - Dictionaries of Aboriginal languages. - Texts in Aboriginal languages. - Graphics for use in literature production. - General texts relating to Aboriginal Australia. - Theses on topics in Aboriginal Studies. In addition the archive has software and can provide information and advice about use of Macintosh computers. What restrictions are there? Normal copyright restrictions apply, and there may be additional restrictions placed on items in the archive by depositors. Deposit and access forms accompany each item, specifying the type of access permitted. Many items are freely available for the use of researchers. Deposit and access forms are included below. How can I use the archive? In two ways. First, you can deposit information with the archive. Any information that you produce or have produced on disk can be deposited. Any information that would normally be deposited with the AIATSIS in a hard copy can now also be deposited in electronic form. Second, you can request information from the archive. You will then be sent a copy of the data, subject to the access restrictions placed on it by the depositor. There may be nominal charges for disks and documentation.

The Georgetown Center for Text and Technology  The Georgetown Project Database Since April of 1989, the Center for Text & Technology (CTT), under the aegis of the Academic Computer Center at Georgetown University, has been compiling a catalogue of projects that create analyze electronic text in the humanities. The Georgetown University Catalogue of Projects in Electronic Text is a powerful database that includes information on electronic text projects troughout the world. The database includes a variety of information on the many collections of literary works, historical documents, and linguistic data which are available from commercial vendors and scholarly sources. The database is written in Ingres and resides on a VAX 8700 computer at Georgetown University. The database may be searched by off-campus users who can connect to the database using Telnet or a modem. The electronic text projects documented in the database are machine-readable files of primary materials from humanities disciplines. Whether entered by keyboarding or by scanning with an optical character reader, these text files generally take the form either of large corpora for linguistic analysis (such as the new British National Corpus of one million words currently being developed by Oxford University Press and others) or major works of major authors for analysis of style and content (such as the compact disc of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae containing 1400 years of classical Greek texts). The catalogue does not include electronic versions of encyclopedias, dictionaries, and secondary studies as well as concordances, databases, and computer-assisted instruction programs that do not contain full-text versions of primary works as these materials are beyond the scope of this project. Unlike the databases that research libraries often make available, the electronic texts cataloged at Georgetown are intended by their developers to be searched and manipulated directly by humanists. Often, therefore, the text is encoded with markup language to facilitate integration with other files; occasionally, the texts are combined with a commercial text-analysis tool such as WordCruncher, Folio Views, or Micro-OCP. With electronic text and integrated analysis software, the researcher not only has the equivalent of an interactive concordance for finding instances of key words but can also search for clusters of words, exact phrases, and co-occurrences of key words (sorted by boolean operators) in contexts of various sizes. Statistical programs show where the desired term or concept is concentrated in a work or series of works, and parsing programs can analyze parts of speech and syntactic structures. general, therefore, the combination of electronic text and searching software can be said to provide the researcher with both microscopic and macroscopic views of the text. The former provides access to small-scale features of a single work; for example, within seconds, a philosopher could locate the single occurrence of the phrase "consciousness of absolute being" from the nine-megabyte, three-volume translation of Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion. By contrast, the macroscopic view of the text highlights the ways in which one work differs from other works by the same author or the author's contemporaries; for example, if one searches an eleven-megabyte file of Shakespeare's works for the word 'time,' one finds a greater concentration in Macbeth than in the other tragedies, and by exploring the contexts, one can see how the title character's over-reaching can be explained thematically in terms of his attempt to usurp the providential function that belongs to time. Given these advantages, it is not surprising that the conversion of primary texts to electronic form is proliferating throughout the world. Nevertheless, because of the unpublicized academic nature of such projects, the process of locating them can be difficult. For this reason, we rely heavily on the discussion groups on BlTNET and Internet, not only to identify new projects but also to request information about them and to disseminate the material we compile. Electronic mail provides access to the most recent developments and permits us to receive and transmit information throughout the world quickly and economically. Among the sixty discussion groups we monitor are those in language and literature (Ansax-L, C18-L, Chaucer, Contex-L, English, Ficino, Linguist, Litera-L, Literary, Reed-L, Rustex-L, Shakesper, and Wwp- L), culture and religion (Ccnet-L, Indology, Japan, Judaica, and Religion), libraries (Cdrom-L, Fisc-L, Libref-L, Pacs-L, and Tei-L), philosophy and history (History, Philos-L, ad Philosop), and the humanities in general (Erl-L, Gutnberg, Humanist, and Pmc-Talk). In our search for news of projects, we also review a wide range of publications, including popular magazines and newspapers (such as the Chronicle of Higher Education), agency reports (such as the List of Awards of the National Endowment for the Humanities), trade publications (including InfoWorld and EDU Magazine), discipline specific journals (such as Computers and Philosophy and Computers and the Classics), the newsletters of numerous academic computing centers, and the journals central to humanities computing (Computers and the Humanities, Bits and Bytes Review, and the ICAME Journal). Once we have identified a new project, we request ten categories of information: 0. Identifying acronym or short reference; 1. Name and affiliation of operation (including collaborators) with references to any published description; 2. Contact person and/or vendor with addresses; 3. Primary disciplinary focus (and secondary interests); 4. Focus: time period, geographical area, or individual; 5. Language(s) coded; 6. Intended use(s) and Size (number of works, or entries, or citations); 7. File format(s); 8. Form(s) of access (outline, tape, diskette, CD-ROM, etc.); 9. Source(s) of the archival holdings: encoded in-house, or obtained from elsewhere. Because the catalogue is constantly being updated, any printing would be almost immediately obsolete. Consequently, the CTT has converted the catalog to an online database searchable through Telnet and dial-in access so that current information can be made available to researchers. In addition, searches of the catalogue are performed on request, and updated lists of projects and addresses are posted regularly on the HUMANIST electronic bulletin board and distributed through surface and electronic mail. The data reside in an Ingres database mounted on a Vax computers; free access is available by the Internet and by modem. Users telnet in to guvax.georgetown.edu, enter the name cpet, and press enter; no password is required. Ingres has a few quirks when accessed over the Internet, and some users have encountered keyboard mapping problems. For these users we provide a free copy of Kermit: ftp guvax.georgetown.edu login: anonymous password: user's real name cd ms-dos or cd mac cd kermit cd kermit cd cpet get gtu-kermit-sit.txt get aaareadme.txt binary binary get gtu-kermit-sit.hqx get cpetkerm.exe close bye Lists of project names and addresses are posted regularly on HUMANIST and other discussion groups (as PROJECTS ETEXTS). Otherwise, we have not yet made the data itself available by ftp, in part because the database changes almost daily as information is received and data entered.

Here are a couple suggestions for non-FTP users, followed by FTP. The Almanac information server, located at the Extension Service at Oregon State University, allows text retreival both through ftp and e-mail. To retrieve a file via ftp: ftp oes.orst.edu (128.193.124.2) Log in as `anonymous' and your login name as a password. cd /pub/almanac/guten ls (to get a list of files) bin (to switch to binary mode) get filename (where `filename' was one of the files listed) bye (when done) To retrieve a file via e-mail, first send the following line by itself to almanac@oes.orst.edu send gutenberg catalog This will instruct you how to send further requests, and will list the available files. For example, to retrieve _Alice's Adventures in Wonderland_, send to almanac@oes.orst.edu send gutenberg alice Bitnet users can also try BITFTP. It is a server that will take an E-mail message from a BITNET site, and send corresponding commands to an FTP server, then send that file as a mail file to the BITNET user. If anyone wants to try it, send just the word HELP in the body of the message to BITFTP@PUCC. We would also suggest you subscribe to the Project Gutenberg newletter by sending the following message from the address you wish to receive it at: sub gutnberg your name Send this to listserv@uiucvmd (bitnet) or to listserv@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu (This message needs no subject, "sub gutnberg your name" is the message).

All MS-DOS files have been checked for viruses with McAfee Associates' SCAN program. We have taken reasonable care for your protection but Oakland University does not certify this software to be free of viruses, trojans or bugs. Use at your own risk. OAK.Oakland.Edu is a mirror of WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. They run the TOPS20 operating system, we run Unix - therefore the directory structure is slightly different. If you are looking for MS-DOS files, cd to /pub/msdos and you will find all the directories listed in the SIMTEL20 upload announcements. Disregard the PD1: part. That's the SIMTEL20 disk drive name, like the C: drive on your PC. PD1:SIMLIST.ARC is the complete index of the msdos files. /pub/msdos/filedocs/simlist.arc is the path and the name on OAK. Notice the relationship of the TOPS20 versus the Unix path. Please download /pub/msdos/filedocs/aaaread.me for details on how to find files in the MS-DOS collection. Public, private or corporate institutions and libraries interested in the SIMTEL20 MS-DOS collection in CD-ROM format bundled with library card-catalog type access and duplication software can contact Coyote Data, Ltd. by mail at 1142 N. Main, Rochester, MI 48307 or by FAX at (313) 651-4071. Others who do not need the access and duplication software should send e-mail to rab@sprite.Berkeley.EDU (Robert Bruce) or telephone (510) 947-5996 for details on his CD-ROM offer. Please contact Keith Petersen for details on how to submit programs to the repository.  The SIMTEL20 Archives  [File: SIMTEL20.INF Last revised: May 11, 1992] [Note: Due to local policy changes, we are no longer able to keep the PC/Blue collection online and intact. We are sorry for any inconvenience to our users. The PC-Blue collection is available from OAK.Oakland.Edu, in directory /pub/pc-blue.] THE SIMTEL20 ARCHIVES -- OVERVIEW There is a colossal amount of free public domain and shareware software for the CP/M, PCDOS/MSDOS, Macintosh, and UNIX operating systems, and for the DoD standard programming language, Ada, in several archives on WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (IP host 192.88.110.20), a DECSYSTEM-20 running the TOPS-20 operating system at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Archives of correspondence for several mailing lists are also available. [SIMTEL20 is a contraction of SIMulation and TELeprocessing, the name of the branch that originally purchased the machine and in whose building the system still resides, and the "20" in DECSYSTEM-20. The convention of including the "20" in some form or another was popular with other DECSYSTEM-20 systems at the time SIMTEL20 was named, such as MIT-XX at MIT and SCORE at Stanford.] You can obtain these files using the InterNet file transfer protocol, FTP (described in a following paragraph), with user-name "anonymous". For a login password, use "guest", your host-name, or any other string of printing characters. Throughout this message, FTP examples are given in a GENERIC syntax. You will have to consult either local documentation or your friendly system wizard to learn the actual syntax used with your local mainframe operating system. For the sake of brevity, the full host name "WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL" will be dropped from further references to SIMTEL20 in this discussion. Also please note that square brackets may be used in place of angle brackets in referring to directory names. For example, pd1:[msdos.filedocs] is the same as pd1: There are many helpful files in the default ANONYMOUS ftp directory. Please look at these if you have need for further information on specific collections. To obtain directory listings, connect to SIMTEL20 via FTP and get these files: pd1:msdos.crclst pd2:cpm.crclst pd2:cpmug.crclst pd2:sigm.crclst pd8:hz100.crclst pd9:macintosh.crclst pd8:misc.crclst pd6:unix-c.crclst pd7:ada.crc There is also a comma-delimited directory listing in each top-level directory, FILES.IDX, which is suitable for importing into a database program. This file may be of greater use than the crclst files because it can be compared against an earlier version of the same file to produce a complete list of files added and deleted from the archives. Using the comma-delimited fields it is possible to build a script for FTP to maintain a parallel archive. FILES.IDX can be printed or displayed with a simple BASIC program. For more information see PD1:AAAREAD.ME. The , , and archives are the ones to watch for the very latest offerings, as they are updated frequently. The , and archives contain software distributed by the CP/M Users Group and the SIG/M Users Group respectively. This software is available on diskettes from the associated user groups, and the archives are updated as new volumes are issued. The archives contain software for the MS-DOS and PC-DOS operating systems. The archive contains a variety of UNIX tools. Those which apply specifically to CP/M are in the directory . The archive is growing rapidly. Information about this archive is in directory PD7:. In general, the archived software is very good, having been worked-over and refined by many users. The documentation and comments tend to be complete and informative. Files in all of these archives can be obtained using the FTP procedures described in this message. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the large number of files available, the archive maintainers cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper operation of the various programs. When a program bug is reported, immediate action is taken to either correct the error or remove the offending program from the archives. Still, users must understand that all archive programs are offered AS IS, and the archive maintainers specifically disclaim any liability should these programs malfunction or cause damage, incidental or otherwise. When testing ANY new software, be certain that all information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so that you can recover if files are damaged or erased. This is particularly true if you have a hard disk, in which case malfunctions can be spectacularly disasterous. FILE TYPES Files are stored in two formats: Text files such as those with names that end with DOC, HEX, INF and ASM are sometimes stored as ASCII files, but sometimes these files are stored in binary compressed form. Binary storage is also used for executable (COM and EXE) and library/archive files (LBR and ARC). All binary data are stored as four 8-bit bytes per 36-bit SIMTEL20 word, with the low-order four bits of each word filled with zeros. If such a file is interpreted as a contiguous string, as will happen if a straight binary transfer is made to a 16 or 32-bit UNIX machine, the four zero filler-bits per 36-bit group will cause rather bizarre and frustrating results. For information on ARC, ARK, ARJ, LZH, ZIP, ZOO, LBR, squeezed and crunched files, get PD2:00-FILES.DOC and/or PD1:00-FILES.DOC. Although the type of storage used for a particular file can usually be inferred from the file-name, this is not always true. It is a good idea to check the appropriate "crclst" of "idx" file to ascertain the storage format used for each file of interest. Now, and for the foreseeable future, storage formats for files in the archive can be determined from their "generation numbers". All files with names ending in ".1" are stored in binary format, and those with names ending in ".2" are stored in ASCII. This relationship will continue to apply for files in the archive until further notice. WARNING: Because the public domain archives on SIMTEL20 consume a huge amount of disk space, storage capacity will be conserved by the greatest practical use of libraries, archives, crunched and squeezed files, all of which are stored in binary format. If you cannot properly transfer binary files, you are going to be VERY FRUSTRATED! If you need help, please contact your local system wizard and provide him/her with a copy of this message. Having done that, if you are still unable to make things work correctly, send a message to Action@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL and someone will try to help you. Please provide the following information: 1. Machine and operating system (e.g., VAX-11/780, 4.3 BSD UNIX) 2. Network software in use (e.g., 3-Com UNET) 3. Complete list of available FTP commands (e.g., GET, PUT, etc.) Important files in the archives are the CATALOG files. These files, which are stored in ASCII, contain the "-CATALOG.nnn" files from all the volumes of the archive. To obtain the composite catalog files, connect to SIMTEL20 via FTP and get this file: pd2:cpmug.cat Similar files exist for the archive, but they are stored in squeezed form. These files, when unsqueezed, yields SIG0.CAT and SIG1.CAT (the catalog). pd2:sig0.cqt pd2:sig1.cqt (NOTE: That's "L-and-three-zeros" in "vol000") FILE TRANSFER VIA FTP FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, a formalized procedure for moving files among machines on the Defense Data Network (DDN) and other networks that connect with the DDN. The protocol is implemented by a program often called FTP. The different mainframe operating systems implement FTP with variations in command syntax. Some systems have the remote-file-name precede the local-file-name in the command. Others reverse this order. Some versions have the whole command on a single input line, while others use multiple lines. Read the documentation for your local system, or consult a friendly system wizard for the details of your local FTP command syntax. UNIX users can do something like "man ftp" for on-line instructions. However, not all UNIX FTP programs are called "ftp", so you may have to snoop around in the system directories or ask a system wizard for the correct local name to use with the "man" command. ITS users can do ":INFO FTP", and "HELP FTP" works on TOPS-20 and some other operating systems. I will be happy to update this message with pointers to other sources of on-line documentation if they are sent to w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. FTP transfers from SIMTEL20 can be made with user-name "anonymous". Use GUEST for the password. For anonymous logins, SIMTEL20 supports the FTP "change working directory" command. (Your local syntax may be something like CD, or CWD). Ignore the message which may appear that prompts you to enter a password. This command allows you to specify a default SIMTEL20 directory to be used for all file retrievals, and thereby relieves you from having to repeatedly type "pdx:" as part of each filename. For example, you can do something like this: cd pd1: get filename-1 get filename-2 ...and so on instead of using the longer filename forms shown in previous examples. Users of TOPS-10, TENEX, or TOPS-20 systems can use "image" or "paged" mode for ALL transfers. UNIX and other users must use "ascii" mode for ASCII files, and "type tenex", "type binary", or "type L 8" mode for binary files. All aspects of the FTP process for UNIX machines have been automated to a high degree by two programs in directory PD8:. With these programs, a simple command like "sh autoftp30.sh mylist &" can be run in no-hangup background mode to transfer multiple files from SIMTEL20 without the user remaining logged-in on the local system. For more information, get the file PD8:AUTOFTP30.TAR-Z, a compressed tar archive. After transferring it to your Unix host, rename to autoftp30.tar.Z, uncompress, and extract with tar. Also see BATCHFTP102.TAR-Z which is an enhanced version of autoftp. MAILING LIST CORRESPONDENCE ARCHIVES Copies of correspondence for several mailing lists are kept on SIMTEL20 in directories with names of the form PD2:, where "KEYWORD" has been chosen to indicate the associated mailing list. At present, the following correspondence archives are available: mailing list mail archive filename --------------- --------------------- ADA-SW PD2: AMETHYST-USERS PD2: INFO-68K PD2: INFO-APPLE PD2: INFO-CPM PD2: INFO-FORTH PD2: INFO-IBMPC PD2: INFO-MICRO PD2: INFO-MODEMS PD2: INFO-MODEMXX PD2: INFO-MODULA-2 PD2: INFO-PASCAL PD2: INFO-XENIX310 PD2: INFO-XMODEM PD2: NORTHSTAR-USERS PD2: UNIX-SW PD2: VIDEOTECH PD2: Descriptions of these and other mailing lists can be obtained via FTP with anonymous login (as for SIMTEL20) from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM. Ask for the file netinfo/interest-groups (an ASCII file). And please note, this is NOT on SIMTEL20. File names for SIMTEL20 mailing list correspondence archives have two forms. For example, in PD2:, which holds the INFO-CPM correspondence (the "INFO-" is assumed), the forms are: yymm.n-TXT or yymm.n-TXT-Z. Files with names ending in -Z were compressed with a Unix compress-compatible program. The characters "yymm" in the file names are the digits of the year and month of the messages in each particular file. The "n" was incremented as overflowed 150 disk pages (approximately 375K). The current month's correspondence is kept in CPM-ARCHIV.TXT, which is constantly growing as new messages arrive. There may also temporarily exist files named CURRENT.n-TXT, which hold the overflow of the current month's messages when CPM-ARCHIV.TXT is split into monthly files. Although INFO-CPM has been used as an example here, the same naming scheme is used for the other mailing list files as well. For a complete list of available files, connect to SIMTEL20 via FTP and do this: dir PD2: You will receive a list of names of the form: KEYWORD.DIRECTORY.n where "n" is one or more digits. For example, the INFO-CPM listing currently appears as "CPM.DIRECTORY.1" To then get a list of files in a particular archive, do this: dir PD2: where "keyword" (for example, "cpm") is chosen from the preceding list, and the word "directory" and the number "n" are not used. At present, all of these files are stored in ASCII. FTP PROBLEMS, FILE ERRORS, CONNECT OR LOGIN PROBLEMS System-related problems should be reported to ACTION@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.

CATSS was a funded project in the Department of Religious Studies of the School (Faculty) of Arts and Sciences, and thus CCAT became a Center in that School, under the jurisdiction of the Associate Dean for Computing in Arts and Sciences. CCAT addressed itself to two interrelated but separable sets of needs, in addition to the general need for timely and accurate information and consulting: (1) those internal to the School of Arts and Sciences (under John R. Abercrombie, Assistant Dean for Computing, as formal Director), with focus on language instruction and projects connected with the several "humanities" departments and programs (including ancient history, archaeology, art history, music); and (2) external services (with Robert Kraft, Professor of Religious Studies, as informal coordinator), especially the encoding, collecting and distributing of textual materials. The external services were viewed as potentially self supporting while the internal functions received support from the Dean of Arts and Sciences or from individual project budgets. Hardware Centrally, Arts and Sciences operates two IBM 3090's that are available to CCAT for various purposes, especially communications and major processing (e.g. morphological analysis). CCAT offices are linked to these and other mainframes on campus over the PENNET fiberoptic spine. More locally, CCAT became divided into two shops, roughly in accord with its internal and external functions. Under Abercrombie, some 60 computers in public areas and over 180 in faculty offices have been installed. Currently there are four public facilities available for general and classroom use: three Macintosh SE/30's labs and classrooms of 50 machines and one IBM PS/2 (Model 50's or higher) of 6 machines. Several of these facilities have specialized equipment including CD- ROM players, optical scanners, WORM drives, laser printers, projection devices, etc. All the above facilities are networked both locally and to the fiber optic backbone called PennNET. In addition to these public facilities for students and faculty, there are currently four Cinema stations for interactive video that are located in German, Audio/Visual and Penn Language House on campus. The number of interactive video disc stations will increase to 15 by August, 1991. The above public facilities are those associated specifically with CCAT activities. Some individual humanities departments also have their own lab facilities that are provided by Arts and Sciences, but CCAT staff rarely assist in managing or directing activities in those six other labs. As for machines in private faculty and staff offices, the School of Arts and Sciences established a policy that all staff should have access to modern technology in their offices. Today just over 90 percent of all faculty in humanities have at least one machine in their work place. Approximately 100 of these machines are tied to instructional projects, such as Cinema and Vanguard, sponsored by CCAT, Computer Services and vendors such as IBM and Apple. Under Kraft, and carrying over from the CATSS project, was a smaller set of workrooms housing (1) an IBYCUS mini-computer System with tape drive and several terminals and matrix printers, (2) two IBM PC type machines, one of which has a switchable connection to IBYCUS, (3) a micro IBYCUS Scholarly Computer, capable of stand-alone operation or of functioning as a terminal on the mini IBYCUS, (4) a HP LaserJet Printer for use with either IBYCUS System or with the IBMs, and (5) a KDEM with tape drive and ability to interface directly with an IBM PC or an Apple Macintosh. Recently (6) an Apple Macintosh SE/30 with CD-ROM drive and a flatbed scanner has been added.

The CD-ROM materials are accessible directly from the IBYCUS SC and, with appropriate software, from PC/MS-DOS and APPLE Macintosh machines, and have been produced under the auspices of the Packard Humanities Institute (see PHI). CCAT also produces and distributes software for working with these materials: e.g. OFFLOAD program for using CD-ROM texts on PC/MS-DOS machines, SEARCH software for PC/MS-DOS equipment, CONCORDANCE utilities, CONVERSION utilities for working from the TLG "beta code" textual formats, REFORMATTING utilities of various types (e.g. conversion of Hebrew for Israeli keyboard), PRINT utilities for use with foreign fonts (especially Greek, Hebrew, Coptic).

Kovacs Kent State University Libraries Kent, Ohio 44242 Phone: (216)672-3045 Bitnet: DKOVACS@kentvm or LIBRK329@kentvms Internet: DKOVACS@kentvm.kent.edu or LIBRK329@ksuvxa.kent.edu How to retrieve files from the LISTSERV@KENTVM or via anonymous FTP from KSUVXA.KENT.EDU To retrieve files from the LISTSERV send the message GET to the LISTSERV@KENTVM via interactive messaging or e-mail message (leave the subject line *BLANK*) (e.g., GET ACADLIST FILE1) To retrieve files via anonymous FTP from KSUVXA.KENT.EDU you must have an e-mail account linked to the Internet and a system running the TCP/IP. Ask your computer services people about your local situation. Type: FTP KSUVXA.KENT.EDU (at your dollar sign prompt (VAX) or ready screen (IBM). If you are on another kind of system consult with your computer services people to find out the proper procedure for FTPing. When prompted for 'USERID' type ANONYMOUS your password will be your actual userid on your local machine. e.g. my address is LIBRK329@KSUVXA.KENT.EDU....so my password when FTPing is LIBRK329 Type: cd library You may type 'dir' to review the files in that directory to get the files just type GET . (e.g., GET ACADLIST.FILE2) FTPing causes files to be directly sent to your filelist or directory so their is no need to 'receive' them into your account space. How to receive files sent to you by the LISTSERV into your e-mail reader: If your e-mail address is on a VAX VMS machine, when you get a message that a file has arrived at your e-mail address....type "RECE *". This command will put the file into your directory. You can then type "TYPE file_name" to read the file. If your e-mail address is on an IBM VM CMS machine, either use your mailer front end or type RLIST and RECEIVE the file into your FLIST. Go into your FLIST to look at the file. If your e-mail address is on a different kind of machine OR you are using Profs or some other kind of similar mailing system....go ahead and try the above commands. If they do not work, CALL YOUR COMPUTER SERVICES OFFICE. The people there should be able to help you and/or hopefully give you a manual for your mailing system commands.

The e-conference began as an informal discussion of two papers by Robert A. Kraft (Pennsylvania) but quickly blossomed into an international forum, with participants in North America, Europe, Australia, and The Middle East. The Philonic and Josephan corpora are extensive enough that they invite all sorts of analysis -- from literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives, to name a few. There is also considerable interest, among participants, in the social realities that lie behind these texts. Prospective members are warmly welcomed. (The discussion assumes a significant background in first-century Judaism and also the ability to read Greek.

Goal: To provide a comprehensive network distributed source of information on Religious Studies publications, pedagogical and research resources and software tools. Overview: The Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS, subtitled the CONTENTS Project, is a networked electronic journal that brings together academic publishers and online scholars in Religious Studies and related fields. This journal provides an information service to academic publishers and the more than one thousand scholars in Religious Studies and related fields who are online with BITNET, Internet, and other international computer networks. CONTENTS' primary function is the posting of table of contents, standard bibliographic, pricing and ordering information, abstracts and reviews of new books and journal issues of relevance to academics in the broad field of Religious Studies. This electronic journal also publishes software reviews of programs essential to computer assisted research. CONTENTS extends the scope of electronic publication by combining reviews and abstracts with table of contents and ordering information of new books and journals in print. Publishers are encouraged to provide an electronic mail contact address so as to enable CONTENTS' subscribers to order texts via the network. This electronic journal is designed in anticipation of the developing commercialization of the academic networks and anticipates the growing trend within publishing houses of accommodating individual chapter and single article purchases. The CONTENTS Project operates by obtaining permission from participating publishers to scan the table of contents from new and recent books and journals and disseminates this information in electronic text to its subscribers. To the table of contents is added information on the publisher, number of pages, price, abstracts and, if available, online ordering contact. Publishers also are encourage to submit abstracts, book notes and reviews for electronic republication. CONTENTS will also disseminate and archive information on works in progress, conference announcements, solicitations for manuscripts, complete dissertations, bibliographies, networked documents and audio-visual resources of relevance to Religious Studies. All publication records posted by the CONTENTS Project are archived via LISTSERV at Listserv@Uottawa or Listserv@Acadvm1.Uottawa.Ca and may be searched or downloaded by the network community. Eventually, all CONTENTS records will be fully searchable as an online public access database via TELNET. A supplement to CONTENTS, Lists in Review, provides an overview of many of the Listserv lists (online academic conferences) of relevance to Religious Studies. A team of editors surveys individual lists and records lists of subject keywords that will serve to indicate what has been discussed on any given online conference. These list summaries are compiled by the supplement editor and posted as a short file to CONTENTS and archived on a fileserver. This collection will allow networked researchers to quickly survey what has been discussed on dozens of lists and then retrieve past conversations from a list's logbook. The list will not be conversational. Frequency of postings will depend on the number of cooperating publishers. At present, the Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS, has over five hundred subscribers in more than twenty four countries.

Despite its name, it also now appears in prepublication electronic form on the HUMANIST discussion list at the node BROWNVM and on the IOUDAIOS list at YORKVM1. OFFLINE began as a service of the Computer Assisted Research Group of the Society of Biblical Literature, but it attempts to cover more widely the actual and potential use of computers in religious studies in general. Currently, an editorial team often contributes items for inclusion in the column. There is no subscription list but if one is a member of either HUMANIST@BROWNMVM or IOUDAIOS@YORKVM1 then it will be sent to you as it is issued to these lists.

Appendix -- Various Networked Electronic BITNET/Internet Directories, Manuals and Help Files From: brendan@cs.widener.edu (Brendan Kehoe) Subject: Zen and the Art of the Internet, Second Edition Date: 8 Jul 92 12:54:04 GMT Zen and the Art of the Internet: A Beginner's Guide ---your navigator's guide to the many twists and turns that come with being comfortable with the Internet. Published by Prentice Hall, its Second Edition is due to begin shipping in the middle of July (a couple of weeks). It has an ISBN of 0-13-010778-6, and it costs $22. There are discounts available for large quantity and educational orders. Zen is primarily written for people that're comfortable with computers, but may not have had much (if any) exposure to networks in general. No one operating system is targeted; it's purposely "Operating System-neutral." Whether you use VM, VMS, Unix, DOS, or Billy's Virtual Machine, you should find this information useful. Even if you've been using the Net for years, you'll probably find something in Zen that you hadn't realized existed before. Zen discusses how to decypher domain names; use email well; what telnet is and what's available using it; Usenet news (including a lot on proper netiquette) ; FTP & archie; the various services that're out there, in their many forms; and a variety of other topics. It also features a chapter (my personal favorite) called ``What You'll Hear About''. Therein are described the different organizations that are concerned with or active on the Net, happenings like the Internet Worm and Cliff Stoll's wily hacker, and discussions of other net lore as well. I think you'll find Zen to be a good read, and not anything like the dry technical manuals that so often proliferate our book shelves. The first edition was received incredibly well by the Net in the past few months. (Send mail to archive-server@cs.widener.edu with the command `send zen hints' in the body of your message to get instructions on how to get the first edition. It will continue to be distributed, irregardless of what future editions may come out.) Opened with a foreword by Ed Vielmetti, Vice President of MSEN, the second edition offers roughly 30 pages of new information, and has been completely "refinished" front to back, with every page rewritten or changed in some way. You'll find it to be much cleaner and more complete than the first; everything in the first edition has been supplemented or improved. It sports a more complete glossary, an extensive bibliography, and a number of other reference features. I've directly incorporated the suggestions of dozens of folks on the net, in the hopes of making it exactly the kind of book you need. Let Zen be your guide through Cyberspace. Comments on either edition are welcome; please send them to guide-bugs@cs.widener.edu.
