Useful WWW Sites

You should keep in mind that the WWW is growing at a fantastic rate, and web sites change rapidly, so that some of these may not always be accessible.

This page isn't in very good shape, but I will keep working on it.

Institute for Global Communications

The Progressive Directory, the home of the IGC Networks [PeaceNet, EcoNet, ConflictNet, LaborNet, and WomensNet] serving environmental and progressive communities since 1986. Various progressive organizations and periodicals such as Mother Jones, FAIR, DSA, SLP, etc. are located here. Earth First!, Greens, Crossroads, NACLA, Rainforest Action Network, Sierra Club, and Worldwatch. A useful site for both academics and activists.

Communications for a Sustainable Future

A valuable site for academics. Includes the Progressive Sociology Network (with the Marx/Engels files), Economics, Environment, Feminist, Peace and Conflict, World Systems, and others. Also, the home of various progressive email discussion lists.

Los Angeles Progressive Online Web

A useful local site, mostly still under development. You can find ChangeLinks (an action calender for Peace and Social Justice in the Los Angeles area) here.

Political Science Department Gopher

This gopherspace was constructed to facilitate news and information from the Department of Political Science for students, faculty, and staff at CSULB as well as the cyberspace community at large. Also check out Political Web Sites maintained by the Department of Political Science. Both are good places to look for political information.

INTER-LINKS

There is a vast array of information and services available through the Internet. It is free for the taking -- if you know where to look. Inter-Links was designed to help you navigate the Internet and find useful things by following a "hypertext" analogy. Embedded in information are "links" (highlighted text). Choosing a link takes you to related information, which may also have links, etc... A link may fetch a document, present you with menus, or start a program. FEATURES: Basic Internet Services, Topical Resources, Fun and Games, Guides and Tutorials, News and Weather, Library Resources, Reference Shelf, Search the Net, Feedback. You can find links to CARL UNCOVER for journal articles and Library of Congress World Wide Web Home Page for books. You can also find World List W3 Servers for finding WWW sites all over the world!

CARL UNCOVER

Even without an account, you can search the Tables of Contents of thousands of journals to look for articles of interest. You can browse by journal or search by keyword or author.

Library of Congress World Wide Web Home Page

Not all that easy to use, but a valuable site for looking for books.

World List W3 Servers

This is the summary of a list of registered WWW servers alphabetically by continent, country, and state. Find sites all over the world!

Yahoo Hierachical Index

Started at Stanford University, Yahoo is a hierarchical subject-oriented catalogue for the World Wide Web and Internet. Yahoo stands for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle (or, if you prefer Webster: "1: a member of a race of brutes in Swift's Gulliver's Travels who have the form and all the vices of man 2: an uncouth or rowdy person"). Yahoo has thousands of links in the following categories: Art (1493), Business (18775), Computers (4943), Economy (1511), Education (2462), Entertainment (16539), Environment and Nature (443), Events (100), Government (1603), Health (1144), Humanities (446), Law (367), News (506), Politics (447), Reference (409), Regional Information (10061), Science (4508), Social Science (186), Society and Culture (1890). Obviously, something for everyone. Also provides links to Other General Internet Directories:[ WWW Virtual Library * EINet Galaxy * GNN - Whole Internet Catalog ]

The Dark Side of the Web

A list of gothic, wiccan, pagan, vampire, occult, and various other dark resources on the Internet. Got this one from Wired, July 1995, p. 179, in an article on Technopagans. This didn't work for me on Saturday, but I will try again.

"A place on the Web to give equal time to make up for all the socialism and moral anarchy ... you find on the Net." Inlcudes links to the Rush Limbaugh Information Page and the Newt Gingrich WWW Fan Club. (unable to connect Monday 7/17/95)
