This directory contains descriptions of electronic
conferences (e-conferences) on topics of interest to
scholars.  E-conference is the umbrella term that includes
Bitnet and Internet discussion lists, Internet interest
groups, Usenet newsgroups, distributions for e-journals, e-
newsletters, electronic fora, etc.  We have used our own
judgment in deciding what is of scholarly interest, and will
consider any advice or critique about our decisions.
