conferences (e-conferences) on topics of interest to
scholars.  E-conference is the umbrella term that includes
discussion lists, interest groups, e-journals, e-newsletters,
Usenet newsgroups, forums, etc.  We have used our own
judgment in deciding what is of scholarly interest, and
accept any advice or argument about our decisions.
