The Labyrinth is a global information network providing free, organized
access to electronic resources in medieval studies through a World Wide Web
server at Georgetown University. Easy-to-use menus and hypertext links will
provide automatic connections to databases, services, and electronic texts
and images on other servers around the world. In addition, the Labyrinth
will include a full range of new resources: an electronic library, on-line
forums, professional directories, on-line bibliographies, an "on-line
university" of teachers and scholars available for consultation via e-mail
or real-time "talk," and an archive of pedagogical tools.
This project will not only provide an organizational structure for
medieval studies, but will also serve as a model for similar, collaborative
projects in other fields. The Labyrinth project is open-ended and will be
designed to grow and change with new developments in technology and in
medieval studies.

You are also invited to participate in an on-line discussion about the
Labyrinth on Interscripta from now through the end of May. To join in this
discussion, send the mail message
sub interscripta [your name]
to listserv@morgan.ucs.mun.ca You will receive a welcoming statement
outlining the discussion agenda.
