>>> Section 1: Information <<<
INTRODUCTION
The Directory of Electronic Journals and Newsletters is intended to provide
a comprehensive listing of all electronic journals and newsletters which are
of academic interest and available through Bitnet, Internet and any
affiliated networks. This Directory is part of an ongoing project and is
updated as new electronic journals and newsletters come into existence and as
existing entries are changed. Every effort has been made to provide the user
with up-to-date information. Most entries have been either provided from or
scrutinized by the journal and newsletter editors themselves to assure
accuracy.
The primary intent of this Directory is to catalog all existing electronic
journals and newsletters that are available over the various academic
networks. A secondary intention is to catalog all e-serials that are being
produced over the commercial networks. Thus, over time this Directory will
provide an entirely comprehensive listing of all e-serials. As the
traditional taxonomy of "journal" and "newsletter" is ill-suited to the
diversity of formats found within the networks, a third category of
"Hypercard Stacks, Digest-Newsletters and Others" (Section 4) is here
included. This section catalogs hypercard stacks and other formats that
represent significant sources of information that are similar in nature to
journals and newsletters. It should be noted that digests which are
straightforward collections of conversational questions and answers are
considered to be a type of list, but any digests which mix a simple list
format with the newsletter format are here included.
Ordinary (conversational) digests and lists are covered in Diane Kovacs'
compilation, Academic Lists. Thus, no attempt has been made to provide a
comprehensive listing of the hundreds of existing digests in this Directory.
For a complete catalog of digests and lists the reader is encourage to
retrieve the Global List with the command:
TELL LISTSERV AT NDSUVM1 GET INTEREST PACKAGE
Or through FTP to 192.33.33.22 (NISC.SRI.COM)
GET /netinfo/interest-groups
Warning - this file will be sent to you in twelve or more sections and is
over 500K in size.
The philosophy behind the presentation of the information within this
Directory is based on the intention of providing the reader with the most
up-to-date information that is possible and in the most comprehensive
fashion. Thus, I have avoided editing descriptions as size is not a factor
for an e-text. I have also listed partial entries in the interest of
providing the reader with the maximum of available information (these
incomplete entries will be marked as such). This makes it possible for the
reader to follow leads I have not yet completed and, in turn, to provide me
with information not yet represented in the latest edition of the Directory.
Users of this document are encouraged to sent me notices of defunct entries,
new entries and related information and suggestions. By this means I hope to
utilize fully the best features of the Net and to make information available
in a fashion that draws upon and promotes the unique strength of the virtual
community.
I hope to be able to provide a Wordperfect version of this low ascii file on
a FTP server in the Fall of 1992.
I am indeted to the countless individuals who have contributed to this
project and helped create the first and only comprehensive Directory of
Electronic Journals and Newsletters.
