Dr. Mark Warschauer has asked me to edit the distribution list Papyrus News (PN) at the University of California from here in Japan. About 1,500 ESL/EFL teachers and scholars in other fields around the world subscribe. Two or three times a week I plan to send out gathered Web resources, news articles, academic opportunities, and ideas on distance education and the topics Mark has indicated: technology in education, literacy, language learning/use, human/social development, culture, and equity. Please send me annotated resources, including URLs, of possible interest to the subscribers. You can also subscribe to Papyrus News.

For travel in Western Japan or studying Japan's religious heritage,
my newly released encyclopedia entries on the Shikoku pilgrimage,
Mount Koya, and Buddhist Syncretism (combining many Asian religions)
may be of interest. This is my fourth site to receive a 4-star rating,
very useful for social sciences research, from the Asian Studies
WWW Virtual Library based at the Australian National University.
Each article includes photos from the encyclopedia.
The other sites and year they received the 4-star rating are:
Multilingual Guide to the Pilgrimage Island of Japan (2003)
(Alternating English and Japanese for learners of either language;
also Spanish, French and Dutch WWW versions of the whole book)
Japan Journal of Multilingualism and Multiculturalism (2003)
(English-Japanese)
Bilingualism and Japanology Intersection (1997, 2001)
(Online publications, English and Japanese annotated versions)
