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.

The bulletin is one of three such publications, alongside the Journal of Burma Studies (Northern Illinois University) [http://www.cseas.niu.edu/seap/burmastudies.htm - ed.] and Burma Watch (Macquarie University) [It is, in fact, 'Burma Economic Watch' (Macquarie University) http://www.econ.mq.edu.au/burma_economic_watch, as distinct from 'Burma Watch', an US blog at http://blog.nationmultimedia.com/BurmaWatch - ed.]. Bulletin articles and documents are posted online immediately on issue for free downloading to anyone, anywhere, with an interest in the society, culture, and history of one of Asia's most interesting countries."
