Description
rating Humanities HUB
Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, brings together a vast assortment of topics under the rubric of the humanities and social sciences. Clicking on one of the 25 or so topics brings up a long list of links on one half of a screen; the other half shows the first-level topics from the home page so you can access them easily. Topics covered include film & media, women's resources, and census data, as well as such subjects as anthropology and sociology.

rating The Voice of the Shuttle
This particular juggernaut holds an awe-inspiring index of humanities-related resources. The dozens of subject areas here contain academic journals, author sites, cultural newsletters, and links to commercial sites. Once inside a subject area (we chose English Literature), you can search the contents by keyword. Instead of searching, though, we scrolled down to the Romantics, clicked on Authors, and listened to an audio file of a woman reading John Keats' poem "When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be." If that sounds like torture to you, dig for treasures in Archaeology or check out the interviews under Cyberculture. And if you're short on time, click on the Highlights button next to each subject area for some quick picks.

rating The Arts - Your Online Gallery to the World
This self-described "gallery to the world" is nothing if not ambitious. While it may never do justice to the vast range of arts and entertainment categories its author is planning, it does have dozens of interesting pointers under many headings, including some that you might not stumble onto otherwise. Current link lists include visual and performing arts, photography, talent agencies, book publishers, and music labels, with myriad other categories such as comedy, computer art, authors, models, and stamps slated to appear soon. This is absolutely worth a browse, and probably a bookmark.
