Several valiant individuals have taken it upon themselves to set up and maintain Web sites devoted to Joyce. Some of these sites deal with specific aspects of Joyce's works, and they will be considered in section D, but others are wide-ranging sites that both house specific items and provide links to many other sites.

This especially attractively designed siteÑpart of the Libyrinth, a large site that includes sections devoted to Borges, Eco, García Marquez, Kafka, Pynchon, and many other writersÑhas recently undergone a complete revision. Its categories include "Come up, Kinch. Come up, you fearful Jesuit" (biography, a timeline, historical events); "Book through eternity junction" (an annotated bibliography of Joyce's works); "I've put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries" (books about Joyce and his works, with short reviews); "Flinging phrases here, there" (quotations); "The finnecies of poetry wed music" (references and allusions to Joyce in classical and popular music); "Shadows by the film folk, masses by the good people" (Joyce and film); "Tuck up your sleeves and loosen your talktapes" (a catalogue of audiobooks of Joyce's works); "Ineluctable modality of the visible" (a gallery of Joycean images); "The last word in stolentelling!" (references to Joyce in fiction, cinema, and philosophy); "That ideal reader suffering from an ideal insomnia" (online papers and essays about Joyce); "Speak to us of Emailia" (instructions for getting onto Joyce mailing lists); "We are becoming important, it seems" (a list of the Joyce books from the online bookstore Amazon.comÑ88 books by Joyce and 311 about himÑplus updates to the list); and "In painted chambers loaded with tilebooks" (a large list of links to online Joyce organizations and Web sites).

10) THE INTERNATIONAL JAMES JOYCE FOUNDATION HOME PAGE

Edward Maloney, Ohio State University

The Joyce Foundation's Web site contains various kinds of information related to the IJJF, including a membership form, addresses and phone numbers, details about the upcoming symposium in Rome and about past symposia, past FoundationNewestlatter cover pages, a list of trustees, the Foundation Statement, and the Foundation's bylaws. It also contains The International James Joyce Foundation Bookstore, which features all the Joyce titles listed by the online bookstore Amazon.com (a huge list!); links to other Web sites; electronic mailing lists and discussion groups; information on copyright reprinted from the November 1995 issue of the Newestlatter; the IJJF Newsgroup, a discussion list and message center; and the IJJF's Live Chat Room.

The James Joyce Resource Center, organized and maintained by Edward Maloney and David Fanning at the Ohio State University, is both a part of the IJJF site and an independent guide to resources. It can be accessed via a link in the IJJF site and also directly. The site organizes its materials into several different categories, including Caught in the Web: Joyce and the Internet, Biographical Information on James Joyce, A Short Biography, A Joycean Timeline, A Bibliography of Books by Joyce, A Selected Bibliography of Books and Criticism on Joyce, A Casebook of Critical Approaches to Joyce Studies (biographical, feminist, genetic, historical and postcolonial, marxist, structuralist and poststructuralist, psychoanalytic, and semiotic criticism), Book and Article Reviews, Maps of Ulysses, and Resources for Studying. The site, which contains a wonderful opening illustration, is under development, and some categories are not yet active or only partially active.

11) IQ INFINITY: THE UNKNOWN JAMES JOYCE

Jorn Barger

Jorn Barger's site contains his extensive research into theUlysses and Finnegans Wake manuscripts, along with his work on Joyce and hypertext. Specific documents include "The Unknown James Joyce," "Introduction to the Study of Joyce's Manuscripts," "Editing Ulysses: The Issues," "Joyce's Early Notetaking for Finnegans Wake," "An Argument about Joyce, Finnegans Wake, and Artificial Intelligence," "Annotations to Finnegans Wake, Chapter 4, Paragraph 1 (pp. 75- 76)," "A Preliminary Stratigraphy of Scribbledehobble," "A Dreadful Omen and a History of the World" (a discussion of some of Joyce's related notes for the Wake), and "The Origins of Finnegans Wake" (on Joyce's notes for the book).

"The New Game FAQ v1.2" (available via a link or directly) contains a discussion of genetic studies of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, along with links to genetic studies.

"Joyce Sites on the WWWeb" (available via a link or directly) is a huge list of links to Joyce sites, including links to many specific articles that are not included in my catalogue. Sites that I first learned about from Barger's list are labeled [JB].

12) JAMES JOYCE: A WEB PAGE

Charles Cave, Sydney, Australia

Charles Cave has made many kinds of materials related to Joyce available on the Web. His main site contains reports from the last Bloomsday celebration in Sydney, including a multimedia presentation of "Wandering Rocks"; information on The James Joyce Foundation in Sydney; information on A Bouquet of Blooms: Ten Woodcuts on the Nighttown Section ofUlysses; and various scanned documents that Cave has collected.

Cave has also set up several other sites that need to be accessed separately. These include hypertext versions of "Wandering Rocks" and "Circe" ("Visions of Nighttown"), a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Finnegans Wake , a discussion of Vico and the Wake , and a list of occurrences of HCE and ALP in Finnegans Wake, including anagrams.

Rob Callahan's elaborate site is divided into several categories, each with a Joycean name, that lead users to both on-site and off-site materials. An introductory page ("Mind your hats goan in") orients users and outlines the site's goals.

The on-site section ("What?Ñand LikewiseÑWhere?") includes a Joycean timeline; a copy of Joyce's schema for Ulysses; selected audio files of Joyce reading from Finnegans Wake; information regarding Joycean discussion groups; a linked index of articles of relevance to Joyce studies located elsewhere on the Internet; information regarding membership in the International James Joyce Foundation; Hypermedia Joyce Studies (item 8); a list of film and video resources; a list of hypertext and hypermedia projects; the table of contents for one issue of the James Joyce Quarterly (Winter 1995), along with a subscription form; maps of Dublin, including a clickable imagemap with descriptions of Dublin locations relevant to Joyce's works; the Multimedia Gallery, a small collection of assorted Joycean images and sounds; and a Seminar Room, a space for Joyceans using Virtual Places software to conduct synchronous discussions. (Many of these items are also accessible from main section links. A well-organized Web site such as this one lets its users find its contents in many different ways and move around in the site easily and securely.)

The off-site section ("Fly by those nets") contains links to electronic versions of Joyce's works; to articles of relevance to Joyce studies located elsewhere on the Internet; and to various other Joyce sites.

The groups section ("Omnium Gatherum") contains information about joining the J-Joyce and FWAKE-L discussion lists and DU-MOO and also information about face-to-face discussion groups throughout the world.

Other sections take you directly to maps ("They are wanderers on the earth to this day") and to Hypermedia Joyce Studies ("Sufficient for the day is the newspaper thereof") and allow you to search for words throughout the site ("Secret eyes, secretsearching") and to sign and make comments in a guestbook ("The tradition of genuine warm-hearted courteous Irish hospitality").
