- timely, reliable and impartial information -

Edited by: Dr T.Matthew Ciolek

"The Pacific Studies WWW Monitor" (ISSN 1443-8976) was established 12 April 2000. The journal, a pioneering and the only publication of this kind in the world, provides weekly abstracts and reviews of new/updated online resources of significance to research, teaching and communications dealing with Pacific Studies. It is modelled on its sister publication Asian Studies WWW Monitor which was established in April 1994. The periodical forms a key element of the global, cooperative project Pacific Studies WWW Virtual Library.
