Alst-L -- Albanian Studies Discussion List
About Alst-L	English (USA)
Albanian Studies Discussion List (ALST-L@alb-net.com) Introduction ================================================================== This list has been made inactive starting Aug 2003. You may want to subscribe to other related lists at http://www.alb-net.com/mailman/listinfo The Albanian Studies Discussion List (ALST-L) is a specialized mailing list created to serve as a means of networking and communication between students (undergraduate and graduate), scholars, and professionals interested or engaged in the field of Albanian Studies: the study of Albanian history, language, politics, society, economy, and other related fields of social science. The purpose of the list is to serve stricly as a means for exchange of academic and scholarly information. It is not intended for the discussion of day-to-day political developments. For that, you may wish to join the ALBANIAN Discussion List (http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/archives/albanian.html). ALST-L is unmoderated. The list seeks to accomodate a variety of ideological and theoretical approaches and schools of thought. Because disagreements are bound to arise, all members are expected to adhere to basic rules of netiquette (Internet ethics) when communicating. A good guide to netiquette can be found at http://www.albion.com/netiquette The editorial style will be similar to one appropriate for a journal (written text) and a round table discussion at a professional meeting (short exchanges between colleagues). The main issue is to maintain a high level of professionalism, in content and form, so that everyone has access and can benefit. This is not a plan for uniformity or consensus, but ground rules for a dynamic exchange of ideas and information in which agreements and conflicts can be experienced and learned from as well. Feel free to use this list in any way you deem appropriate (of course, within the bounds of its intended purpose and scope). For any comments or suggestions about the list's operation, please contact the list owner at besnik@alb-net.com. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Alst-L Archives.
