In addition to scholarly and pedagogical articles and professional notices, "Classical World" also publishes research bibliographies on authors and topics, surveys of teaching resources, and book reviews. * "Parergon" publishes articles and book reviews on all aspects of medieval and early modern studies. It has a particular focus on research which takes new approaches and crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. Fully refereed and with an international Advisory Board, "Parergon" is the Southern Hemisphere's leading journal for early European research. It is published by the Australian and New Zealand Association of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (Inc.) and has close links with the ARC Network for Early European Research. * "Hesperia" is published quarterly by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Founded in 1932 and devoted primarily to the timely publication of reports on projects sponsored by the School, "Hesperia" also welcomes submissions from all scholars working in the fields of Greek archaeology, art, epigraphy, history, and literature. Articles presenting primary research, interdisciplinary studies, theoretical discussions, and syntheses of topics and problems are all featured. Studies on the history and practice of archaeology and ethnography in the Mediterranean are also included. To access these and other Project Muse journals, click "Project Muse" on the library's "Journals, Magazines, Newspapers" page or search by individual journal title. Because Project Muse is available through the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA), IP address restrictions apply: from off campus, you'll need to enter your Campus UIN at the Easy Proxy page. ------------------------------ Next Issue: February 28, 2006 ------------------------------- Find the Libnews-L archives at: http://www.lib.odu.edu/libinfo/publications/libnews
