>>> LISTS IN REVIEW Number 8 (November) Now Available <<<

A supplement to the CONTENTS Project, LIST IS 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 favourite
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.

LIR 8 covers the following lists for the month of November:
CLASSICS ELENCHUS HUMANIST IOUDAIOS NSP-L RELIGION sci.classics
