Reprinted from the EdRes mailing list.

Description:

URLSrUS is a mailing list created in the summer of 1995 with the original aim of allowing students and educators to distribute interesting and helpful Internet site addresses. Our focus has broadened in the past year as the list has grown to include hundreds of members from over 15 countries.

For subscription information, hit the Web site.

Evaluation:

URLSrUS is a well-managed, spam-proofed educational list which the list owners are anxious to see expand. It offers educators and students the opportunity to exchange Internet site addresses which they may find in the course of day-to-day research, exploration or just "surfing" with peers around the world. While not a conversation list, URLSrUS can provide the initial spark for online discussions among list members.

Traffic on the list is fairly low, as the list has a small number of subscribers at this time, but is predicted to come to life as the academic season approaches.
