CALL FOR PAPERS
The editorial collective of disClosure is pleased to announce
that it is now accepting submissions for its inaugural issues.
disClosure is a social theory journal edited by graduate students
at the University of Kentucky, and is designed to provide a forum
for multi-disciplinary dialogue between the humanities and the
social sciences. By exploring alternative forms of discourse,
our goal is to address contemporary intellectual concerns through
a rigorous examination of history, space, and representation. As
our title suggests, we encourage fresh perspectives that
transcend the strictures and structures set in place by
traditional disciplinary thought.
Submissions for the first two issues should address the following
topics:
Issue 1 - "Rethinking Contemporary Mythologies"
Deadline - 15 April 1991
Issue 2 - "The Commodification of Culture"
Deadline - 15 December 1991
For our first issue, areas of possible inquiry might include:
-> the myth of objectivity in social science research and writing
-> the prioritization of historical myths over spatial... or vice
versa
-> the construction and reproduction of myth; methodologies of
myth creation
-> the desire to be bound by myth
-> Myths? the death of the subject, the death of the author
-> the "END" of IDEOLOGY, THE COLD WAR, RATIONALITY ?
We accept submissions from all theoretical perspectives and all
genres (essay, interview, review, poetry, and others), from both
inside and outside the academy. disClosure is a refereed journal
whose selections will be solely based on quality and originality.
Graduate students, faculty, and non-academics are equally
encouraged to submit works. Three copies of manuscripts
formatted to MLA guidelines, double spaced, and less than 10,000
words should be addressed to:

_REACH_, Research and Educational Applications of Computers
in the Humanities, the newsletter of the Humanities
Computing Facility of the University of California, Santa
Barbara, is now available in electronic form through
anonymous FTP.
FTP is a UNIX process which lets you transfer files from a
distant computer to your own system. Your local computer
center staff should be able to provide you with information
on using FTP from your own account.
Once you have FTP available, enter one or the other of the
two following equivalent commands to gain access to the UCSB
computer storing the files:
ftp ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu
or
ftp 128.111.122.50
Try the first version, and, if that doesn't work, then try
the second.
Log on with the name "anonymous," and use your e-mail
address as a password.
Next, move to the directory containing the files by entering
the command:
cd hcf
Now that you're in the correct directory, you can get a list
of all the file names by entering the command:
ls
Then, to transfer any of the files to your own system, enter
the command:
get filename
First try transferring the file called "readme." It shows
the contents of each of the files in the directory, and
gives detailed instructions for the FTP process, including
the complete log of an actual FTP session.
Finally, end your session with the "quit" command.
If you encounter any difficulties in using the process, send
me an e-mail note and I'll try to enlist the assistance of
one of our local wizards.
I'd be particularly interested to hear from those who find
this archive a useful form of resource.
Regards,
Eric Dahlin

ARL TO PRODUCE DIRECTORY OF ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS
As part of its keen commitment to promote networked academic
journals and other serials, the Association of Research
Libraries (ARL) plans to publish a directory of electronic
journals, newsletters, and scholarly discussion
lists/interest groups. These represent publications which
are created and distributed principally for Bitnet, Internet,
and any affiliated academic networks, largely for free.
The directory will be available at the end of June. It will
contain some 30 journal listings, about twice that number of
newsletters, and over 1000 scholarly lists. Its length is
anticipated to be close to 200 pages. Preliminary pricing
estimates are approximately $10 - $12 to members and double
that for non-members. A final price and release date will be
advertised in early June.
Editor of the journals/newsletters section is Michael
Strangelove, University of Ottawa. Strangelove's list will
be available through the Ottawa University network
sometime in June. Editor of the scholarly discussion
lists/interest groups section is Diane Kovacs, Kent State
University Libraries. For some months, she has maintained
such listings as adjunct files to networked lists such as
HUMANIST, ARACHNET, Lstown, and Libref-L. Each electronic
"serial" will be described and clear directions about how to
subscribe, send submissions, and access retrospectively will
be provided. To ensure that the reader is given accurate and
up-to-date information, entries have been supplied or
verified by the editors themselves. The listings are
compiled with the intention of providing the uninitiated
networker with clear directions on how to navigate the
sometimes puzzling world of electronic scholarship.
ARL is producing the printed directory because of calls
virtually daily requesting such information. If there is
indeed sufficient demand for the work, the directories will
be updated and sold regularly. For those who prefer to
retrieve electronically, the directory will point to the free
and continuously up-to-date networked sources for this
information, with complete access instructions.
The ARL is tentatively exploring options for funding to
catalog/classify these materials, both to facilitate
networked and paper access by subject and to
"institutionalize" and "legitimize" new types of "serials."
This effort would relate to activities of the Coalition for
Networked Information (CNI) in identifying and maintaining
directories of networked access and resources and to the work
of individuals and institutions concerned with standards
development for networked products and publications. For
further information, to indicate your interest, or to place

HYPERTEXT '91
3RD ACM CONFERENCE ON HYPERTEXT
DECEMBER 15-18, 1991
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
Hypertext '91 is an international research conference on
hypertext. The ACM Hypertext Conference occurs in the United
States every second year in alternation with ECHT, the European
Conference on Hypertext.
Hypertext systems provide computer support for locating,
gathering, annotating, and organizing information. Hypertext
systems are being designed for information collections of diverse
material in heterogeneous media, hence the alternate name,
hypermedia.
Hypertext is by nature multi-disciplinary, involving researchers
in many fields, including computer science, cognitive science,
rhetoric, and education, as well as many application domains.
This conference will interest a broad spectrum of professionals
in these fields ranging from theoreticians through behavioral
researchers to systems researchers and applications developers.
The conference will offer technical events in a variety of
formats as well as guest speakers and opportunities for informal
special interest groups.
