IIAS Internet Guide

The IIAS has recently published the IIAS Internet Guide to Asian Studies '96. The Guide is the outcome of research conducted over the past year by Annelies de Deugd on the availability of electronic information on Internet in the field of Asian Studies. The Guide is a worthy starting point for finding information about Asian Studies on Internet and about ways to access it efficiently. The Guide is divided into two sections. Part 1, the Users' Guide, gives an outline of how to use the manifold options Internet offers, namely the WWW, newsgroups, mailinglists, Gopher, e-mail, and FTP. Part 2 provides a directory of Asia-related information on the 'Net'. The information contained in this Guide will also be accessible on the IIAS WWW site:

A second improved edition will be published next year, based on a qualitative assessment of the information providers. Comments and/or additions are greatly appreciated.

The Guide can be ordered from the IIAS secretariat:
