   Resources for Economists on the Internet, Vol. 2, No. 2 October, 1996

                                Part 5 of 10

   This document lists the many resources on the Internet of interest to
   academic and practicing economists, and those interested in economics.
   In selecting these resources, I exercise some editorial judgment and
   select items that either offer a substantial amount of information, or
   are specialized to a specific area.

18 WEBEC - ECONOMICS JOURNALS ON THE INTERNET
                                       
   Lauri Saarinen, of the Helsinki School of Economics and Business
   Administration, maintains this site page with extensive information
   about journals. It includes both material about journals and on-line
   journals.
   
     # http://www.helsinki.fi/WebEc/journals.html
       
19 ON-LINE JOURNALS
                                       
19.1 Student Economic Review

   This journal, edited and written by students from the Department of
   Economics, Trinity College, Dublin, is fully accessible on the web.
   Versions of each article are available in both html ("hypertext markup
   language," the web standard) and rtf ("rich text format," from
   Microsoft Word). The latter is more suitable for complex text, but the
   former is more common (to read an rtf document interactively, you have
   to set up an rtf viewer as a helper application in your web browser).
   
   It is impressive that a student journal is one of the first fully
   accessible economic journals on the Internet.
   
   The students wish to thank Dr. Paddy Waldron of Trinity College for
   his help in this project. Peter Nolan, the Deputy Production Editor,
   played a large role in bringing it to the web.

19.4 JSTOR (Journal Storage Project)

   This project will "develop, deploy, and evaluate a digital library
   capable of supporting the needs of humanities and social science
   disciplines." The following economics journals, dating from their
   inception to 1990, will be digitized: journals to be digitized are:
   The American Economic Review, Econometrica, Journal of Political
   Economy, Quarterly Journal of Economics, and The Review of Economics
   and Statistics. For the first year trial, this collection will be
   available at the University of Michigan, Denison University, Bryn
   Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore, and Williams College. One hopes that it
   will quickly be expanded.
   
   This project is being run by the University of Michigan's School of
   Information and Library Studies, College of Engineering, and the
   University Libraries and the Information Technology Division, with
   funding from the Mellon Foundation. It is also a being run in
   conjunction with a grant the University of Michigan has received from
   the NSF for work on digital libraries, and the University of Michigan
   Digital Libraries (UMDL) project, which includes a number of private
   industry partners.
   
   Plans are to make the back issues (specifically, all issues up to five
   years ago) of the AER generally available.

   In this section, I list several prominent economics publishers. If
   you're looking for a publisher not listed here, take a look at the
   Association American University Presses site. In addition, the
   Cambridge University Press kindly provides a site called "Presses on
   the Web" that has a number of links as well.
   
21.2 Association American University Presses

   eleven non-U.S. members. Information on the publications from these
   publishers is now being added to this server in an integrated
   database. Currently, it lists some 50,00 books from publishers. It can
   be searched in many different ways. Serials are listed as well. In
   addition, this site has a number of links to servers of academic
   publishers.

21.4 Elsevier/North-Holland

   Elsevier/North-Holland offers two services on the Internet for
   economists as an adjunct to their paper publishing. The first,
   "Contents Alert Economics," is a mailing list concerning forthcoming
   articles in all 34 of their economic and finance journals. For each
   forthcoming article, it has the full title, authors, authors'
   affiliation, key words and JEL codes when available, volume/issue/page
   numbers, the dates for receipt and acceptance of the forthcoming
   article, and the publication date of the issue. Contents Alert
   Economics comes out at approximately weekly intervals. Subscription
   information is below.
   
   The second service, ECONbase, is a searchable database that allows you
   to search for current information on articles in the 33
   Elsevier/North-Holland journals. It contains information on articles
   published after January 1, 1994, and each year some 2,000 articles are
   added. For each article, ECONbase provides the same information as
   "Contents Alert Economics." All can freely access the table of
   contents, while other information is available only in the Subscriber
   Section, which has controlled access.
   
   Another service is information on their Handbooks in Economics Series.
   You can read about their role in academic discourse, a list of all the
   titles, the editors of them, and a questionaire on how they can be
   integrated into the web.
   
   Free access to the Subscriber Section is available to academics (i)
   who have a personal subscription to a North-Holland economics journal,
   (ii) who have a member subscription to one of the journals in
   ECONbase, (iii) whose institution has a subscription to three of the
   journals covered by ECONbase, or (iv) who are an editor or editorial
   board member of one of North-Holland's economics journals. If you meet
   one of these qualifications, you may subscribe by entering the section
   titled "Getting Access to the Subscriber Section," which is available
   on both their web and gopher servers (on the web server, it is one of
   the items on the main page, (near the bottom) and on the gopher
   server, it is after the "Miscellaneous" entry). Erik Van Aert kindly
   supplied this information.

   This electronic version of the Chronicle of Higher Education is

   Currently, for U.S. users, it is free; for non-U.S. subscribers, it

   nice. The crossword puzzle requires software that they supply.
