Portal to Asian Internet Resources
http://webcat.library.wisc.edu:3200/PAIR/index.html

Designed as a cooperative project between The Ohio State University Libraries, the University of Minnesota Libraries, and the University of Wisconsin Libraries, the Portal to Asian Internet Resources (PAIR) provides a "user-friendly, searchable catalog through which scholars, students and the general public have quick and easy access to high quality Web resources originating in Asia identified, evaluated, selected and catalogued by library specialists." These resources themselves are from a variety of sources, such as those from various academic institutions, units of governance, and different non-governmental entities. The available catalogued web resources are in English and/or one of 27 Asian languages, and are selected on the basis of quality criteria such as "accuracy, authority, uniqueness, currency, relevance to scholarly research," and so on. It's quite easy to use the site, as visitors can move their cursor over an interactive map of Asia, and click on a country of interest. Additionally, they may elect to select one of the countries covered by PAIR from a list located on the site's homepage. [The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003 V10N4 1-30-04] I have listed this excellent resource under my Subject Tracer Information Blog Directory Resources as well as it will be listed in my next update of my Internet MiniGuide Articles, Abstracts, Documents, Papers, Reports and Literature Resources 2004.
