The Scout Report for Business & Economics ==================================================
The Internet Scout Project of the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison announces the start of a new free electronic publication designed for the higher education community. The target audience of the new Scout Report for Business & Economics is faculty, students, staff, and librarians in the business and economics. Each biweekly issue offers a selective collection of Internet resources covering topics in the field that have been chosen by librarians and content specialists in the given area of study.
The new Subject Specific Scout Report for Business & Economics joins two other new reports announced earlier -- one for Science & Engineering and one for Social Sciences. All were designed with advice from academics in each field and the librarians who serve them.
September 25 marked the release of the first issue of the Scout Report for Business & Economics. The three new reports are available via email or on the Web site:
http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/scout/report
Goals of the Subject Specific Scout Reports:
* To expand the Internet Scout Project's existing current awareness services by providing the higher education community with information that is specific to a given field of study
* To continue research into the cataloging and archiving of electronic resources with expansion of the content of the Scout Report Signpost, a database of selected Internet resources, to include highly specialized resources
* To investigate and implement new subject-based delivery techniques on the Internet using the subject specific resources archived and cataloged in the Signpost
