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.

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.

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.
