SHARP-L
The Electronic Conference for the History of Print Culture
Like its parent organization, the Society for
the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing, SHARP-L is devoted to
forging connections among scholars in all disciplines who are working on
the history of the printed word in any place or period. Available to
anyone with access to the Internet through a university computer system or
commercial service gateway, SHARP-L is an electronic forum (or "listserv")
for the exchange of research ideas, information, queries, teaching aids,
and conference and journal announcements, as well as discussion of any
issues, large or small, that pertain to the scholarly study of the history
of print culture.
