THE CANADIAN STUDIES DIRECTORY IS NOW UP

The Canadian Studies Directory (CSD), a project
directed by John W. Ferstel (Chair, Canadian Studies
Committee, U. of Southwestern Louisiana) and Robert D.
Beckett (Chair, Canadian Studies Program, Southwest
Missouri State University), is now accessible to those
using any of the major academic computer networks (e.g.,
the Internet and BITNET in the U.S.). The purpose of the
CSD is to provide an up-to-date listing of electronic
mail addresses and areas of specialization for Canadian
Studies scholars worldwide who are currently using
electronic mail for scholarly contact and research
purposes.

This initial list of approximately seventy-five
academics is projected to grow to several hundred within
two years as more Canadianists add their data to this
directory. The CSD will be updated monthly to insure the
most up-to-date repository of names and addresses
available anywhere.

The CSD is accessible on the Internet by FTP by
sending the following commands:

TYPE: ftp bss.usl.edu

[You will then see evidence of your successful contact]

For the NAME, type: anonymous

For the PASSWORD, type: your e-mail address

[You then should see an ftp prompt that looks like:

ftp>

THEN TYPE: cd pub/canada_studies

FINALLY TYPE: get scholars_alpha

[You should then find a file in your root directory
named "scholars_alpha" -- the alphabetical listing
of Canadianists in the CSD with e-mail address and
specialties listed. Another file listing Canadian-
ists by specialty areas will be available in the
fall.]

To exit the FTP mode:

TYPE: BYE or QUIT

Those on BITNET or other similar networks may send a
message to John W. Ferstel at the following address to
request a copy of the directory:

jwf3885@usl.edu

If you wish to apply to the CSD, you may request an
application form by sending an e-mail message to the
above address. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH OTHER
COLLEAGUES WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN THE DIRECTORY.
