description: Mission: Improve access to online educational resources by
developing an easy to use subject directory covering each academic discipline.
Increase educational opportunities for students in rural and underrepresented
communities by giving them the same online experience as students from more
privileged communities. [...] The primary focus of the site must be academic,
with its intended audience at the upper high school level or above. A priority
is adding digital collections from libraries, museums, and academic
organizations and sites offering unique online content. Will add annotated
subject directories but not sites with only a 'list of links.' [...]"
Description: This is a subsite of academicinfo.net, a directory of
educational online resources maintained by Mike Madin. After ten years at the
University of Washington's Gallagher Law Library Madin left in 2000 to work full
time on Academic Info. Many links are briefly annotated, mostly using the site's
self description. Sorting is alphabetically (page-title), which does not make it
too comfortable to use. The search (as the table of contents) can be accessed
from the mainpage only, but boolean operators can be used. The site displays
sponsored links.
Contents: Afghanistan Studies, China Studies (General
