What's new at ETANA

Thanks to Chuck Jones for the latest news:

The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University (http://www.nyu.edu/ISAW) is the newest member of the ETANA collective (http://www.etana.org)

Both ISAW and ETANA now have presences in facebook:
ISAW: http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10685696817
ETANA: http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22877529027

As of 1 July 2008 there are 355 digitized books and one developing resource (eTACT) in ETANA Core Texts. I present at this link all of those titles in a single list organized alphabetically by author's name.

If you check Abzu regularly, you will see new material appear at the "View items recently added to ABZU" link at:
http://www.etana.org/abzu

You can also check the What's New in Abzu blog, which lists nearly everything entered into the database in the order in which it is entered:
http://www.bloglines.com/blog/AbzuNew

There are RSS feeds from both of those URLs. For those of you who need assistance with such feeds, I refer you to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feed

An alternative for those who wish to receive regular Abzu updates by email is to use http://www.rssfwd.com/

Go there, enter the Abzu URL:
http://www.etana.org/abzu/

When prompted, enter your preferred email address. You're done.

If you wish to use the What's New in Abzu widget on your own website or blog, you will find the code and instructions at:
