(apologies for cross-posting duplication) I'm pleased to announce the availability of eleven new subject-specific guides to the Internet. These guides were created between September and December of this year by students enrolled in the course "Internet: Resource Discovery and Organization" at the University of Michigan School of Information and Library Studies, taught by Prof. Joe Janes and myself. Students were instructed in Internet tool usage and resource discovery approaches with the goal of creating ASCII text guides identifying and evaluating the quality of the resources in specific subject areas. Some of these guides will be available as HTML documents as well. Titles and authors of these guides follow: * Aerospace Engineering: A Guide to Internet Resources Chris Poterala Dave Dalquist * Archives on the Internet (available 12/28) Nika Kayne Denise Anthony * Internet Guide to Book Discussions and Book Reviews Shannon Allen Gretchen Krug * Government Sources of Business and Economic Information Kim Tsang Terese Austin * A Guide to Environmental Resources on the Internet Toni Murphy Carol Briggs-Erickson * Film and Video Resources on the Internet Lisa Wood Kristen Garlock * Neurosciences Internet Resource Guide Sheryl Cormicle Steve Bonario * Personal Finance Resources on the Internet Abbot Chambers Catherine Kummer * Internet Guide to Popular Music Rolaant MacKenzie Vicki Coleman * Guide to Theater Resources on the Internet Deborah Torres Martha Vander Kolk * US Technology Public Policy Steve Kirk David Blair Unless otherwise mentioned, these guides are now available from the Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides. Jointly sponsored by the University Library and the School of Information and Library Studies at the University of Michigan, the Clearinghouse provides access to subject-oriented resource guides created by members of the Internet community. There are currently over 60 guides available via anonymous FTP, Gopher, and WorldWideWeb/Mosaic.
