Call for Online Scholarly Humanities Resources

The Humbul Humanities Hub (http://www.humbul.ac.uk/) invites members of the
humanities research and teaching community to share information about
scholarly Web sites via its "Suggest a Resource" page at
http://www.humbul.ac.uk/submit/

Humbul catalogues online resources in the humanities, a remit that includes
English, History, Archaeology, Classics, Philosophy, Religion, Modern
Languages, Linguistics, and cognate subjects. As part of the Resource
Discovery Network, Humbul is a free service supporting researchers,
lecturers and students in higher and further education. Please note that
support for the arts and creative industries is being developed by RDN
Artifact (http://www.artifact.ac.uk/).

Scholarly resources suggested by colleagues assist our own resource
discovery activities and benefit humanities academics and students seeking
useful online resources.  Each suggested site which meets Humbul's
collection development policy, http://www.humbul.ac.uk/about/colldev.html,
is fully described by a subject specialist cataloguer and the resulting
metadata record is made available for searching and browsing.

In addition to building its catalogue, Humbul develops tools to make access
to its catalogue easier. The My Humbul suite of personalisation tools
(http://www.humbul.ac.uk/help/myhumbul.html) includes an email alerting
service and enables the reuse of Humbul's records you select within your
own web pages.

The Humbul Humanities Hub is a service of the Resource Discovery Network
funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee and the Arts and
Humanities Research Board, and is hosted by the University of Oxford.
