Electronic Buddhist Archives and the Buddhist Studies WWW Virtual Library
Project representative: Dr. T. M. Ciolek, Australian National University (Australia)
Dr. Ciolek has been administering, since September 1994, the most comprehensive and best organized network of links to Buddhist-related information on the Web, the Buddhist Studies section of the World Wide Web Virtual Library (WWWVL) and one of its sub-sections, the Zen Buddhism WWW Virtual Library. Since he also handles, in a similar capacity, the Asian Studies WWWVL, there is a deep relation between the two projects. Dr. Ciolek maintains, in relation to this project, an impressive amount of databases, mailing lists, and the Electronic Buddhist Archives (FTP site). He is also deeply concerned with the theory and planning of the development of the Internet in general as a medium for the transmission and storage of scholarly information.
