Conversational Scholarship in Cyberspace: The Evolution and Activities of H-Net, the Online Network for the Humanities.
Turnbull, Paul
Australian Universities' Review, v39 n1 p12-15 1996
The origins and current use of H-Net, an online humanities network on the World Wide Web, are examined. H-Net currently sponsors 73 electronic discussion lists that reach subscribers in 68 countries. Discussion groups have not met expectations for scholarly exchange, possibly because of plagiarism and copyright concerns. New ventures include book reviews and steps toward scholarly publishing.
