A New Publication from the Internet Scout Project: 
 
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 marks 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
