Dear Reader,

The ASIAN STUDIES WWW MONITOR
(including all its subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Friday 21st January 2011.

All of the online resources reported here have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.

Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed in the MONITOR. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.

- with warm regards -

Editor, Dr T. Matthew Ciolek.

Self-description:
"The Center for Buddhist Studies was founded in 1988, under the Religion Department of Columbia University's institutional umbrella, with a grant connected with the Jey Tsong Khapa professorship endowment from the American Institute of Buddhist Studies. Its goal is to support Buddhist Studies at Columbia and foster greater understanding among students and faculty. To that end, the center has launched [in Oct 2005 - ed.] a new multi-media weblog. [...] Contributions (i.e. posts, essays, digital media, etc . . . ) to the CBS Blog are always welcome. Please contact Christopher Kelley (cdk2001--at--columbia.edu) - ck."
