on China and AsiaBusiness and
Government in East Asia. My resource guide on the subject,
currently undergoing creative destruction.Teaching
about East Asia. If you're teaching about East Asia, or plan
to, visit the page to find leads to some good background information
and
resources for teachers. Most of the material is appropriate for
secondary
and college undergraduate work, but middle and elementary school
teachers
might also find some things of use.China SitesChina
bookmarks prepared for my Chinese Politics students way back
in 2001; under revision for spring 2004. For
both of the preceding two pages, most of the link titles are in Chinese
(as are the sites linked to) so if you're using an older operating
system
you need software that allows you to browse Chinese characters. My
favorite
is Nanji Star (Win 3.x,
95,
and 98 available). If you're using Win2000 or XP, you should be able to
download the necessary fonts from the Windows web site, and change your
View settings to allow display of Chinese characters.Archive (i.e., ancient
history) of general resources for using the InternetA Guide to Research
and Professional Activity on the Net, an online
tutorial designed for university faculty, staff, and students. It's now
ancient by Internet time, but the basics haven't changed much, so try
it
out if you're looking for an academically oriented tutorial for those
who
are new to the Net, or to its academic side. Do not, however, expect
all
the links to work.Using
Subject Guides and Search Engines. A much earlier version of
what turned into Chapter 2 in the textbook above.Using Mailing
Lists and Usenet. Much earlier versions of some of what
ended up in Chapter 3 of the textbook.
