Mideast inet-bitnet lists [JHURLEY@HUSC3.HARVARD.EDU
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1993 19:03:16 GMT
From: JHURLEY@HUSC3.HARVARD.EDU
To: Multiple recipients of list ACTIV-L
Some time ago, I posted a request for information on Mideast-related
email lists in Soc.culture.Arabic. I received a remarkably large volume
of response; I have compiled this information below. I want to
acknowledge that some of what is below is verbatim repetition of
information as I received it. Thanks to John Hinton, Alexandre Khalil,
Ayeda Ayed, Jon Anderson, and S.M.M. Al-Taher.
COUNTRY-SPECIFIC NETS:
PALESTINE NET at palestine-net-request@mcs.kent.edu
This includes excellent news items from wire services and
Palestinian and Israeli media. A particularly interesting
item I saw there yesterday was a summary of Hebrew press
editorials from the last week, something we ought to regard
as invaluable since few on our side read these papers; I
don't know if this was a regular feature or not. P-net also
includes various postings of the usual kinds.
EGYPTNET egypt-net-request@das.harvad.edu
This is issued as a daily digest of posts received. There is
some news about Egypt, some political arguments and
discussion of Egyptian issues, and a great deal of
metadiscussion and responses to the problems caused by a
couple of posters who post comments which they probably
imagine to be amusing about various groups.
TRKNWS-L listserv@uscvm
Turkish news one item at a time.
LEBANON NET is said to be available at Leb-Net.ctr.columbia.edu,
but I haven't been able to reach this one, depite repeated
efforts.
ALGNEWS listserv@gwuvm.gwu.edu Algeria News List (French)
TUNISNET | listserv@psuvm.psu.edu |The Tunisia Network
ISLAM-RELATED LISTS:
ISLAM-L at listserv@uldyvm.bitnet
MUSLIMS listserv@psuvm.bitnet
MSA-L listserv@psuvm.psu.edu |Muslim Student Association
Jon Anderson, editor of the Middle East Studies Assn Bulletin, directed
me to a list of Mideast-related lists in the MESA Bulletin no. 25 (Dec.
1992), p. 179. He notes that "Some of these are technical (Turkish,
Hebrew TEX), some local (Maghrib scientists). There are some others not
listed in the article that will be listed in a future one."
