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, enewsletters,  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.
