Asia Video Resources on the World Wide Web
by Raymond Lum - Spring 1997 (Print
source*)
|
In response to a request to do a thematic version of
this column, I have chosen Asian video resources as the
focus here. This is part of a larger database, in process,
that I am preparing for the M-ASIA web page
(http://h-net.msu.edu/~asia/).
Please send information on additional resources to:
rlum@fas.harvard.edu
Those AAS members who have sent me infomnation on their
web pages can be assured that those will appear in
future columns.
