Introducing CHORUS
A WWW Resource for Academic and Educational
Computing in the Arts/Humanities
Sponsored by PEINet, Canada

____________________________________________________________
CHORUS is a WWW resource for academic and educational
computing in the arts/humanities. It is aimed primarily
at academics, educators, information professionals,
and students (in higher education). A home-computing and
Internet-tools section, however, will appeal to a broader
audience with a less formal interest in using computers to
teach, learn or acquire humanities-related information.
CHORUS is a highly collaborative venture which brings together
an international team of academics and professionals.
CHORUS is NOT a "packaged" electronic serial. Rather, it is an
evolving hypermedia resource continually shaped by a team of
editors and writers/reviewers into an ever more complex web of
information.
