The page is aimed at students, including, in addition to regional resources, links to academic departments, funding sources, conferences and list-serves. This is one of the best area subject directories currently available, well organized, with a huge number of annotated links. The site is hosted by the Michigan State University Center for European and Russian Studies. The links are divided into general, regional and country specific resources and are further divided by subject within each geographic region. Resources included in the guide focus on the areas of government, politics, news and media and search engines, but include other information as well.
Links are to English and vernacular language sites.
This site includes news and links on the countries of Central Asia. The links, mainly to English language ready reference and directory style sites, are organized by region and by country. Annotated lists of links, organized by subject, have been created for each Central Asian nation. Most of the links are to English language sites although some news sources are in the vernacular languages. Some areas such as Russian culture include a number of links, while other areas include only one or two links.
