PLEASE NOTE:
This project is not (yet) sponsored or approved by the
Society of Biblical Literature.
It is still a draft proposal for the SBL's Computer
Assisted Research Section.
The following materials are only tentative suggestions
intended to illustrate this project.
The following subject-area websites
are sponsored, co-sponsored, approved,
and/or highly recommended by
[SBL? CARG?] for the academic study of biblical literature:

Top Level: "Recommended Biblical Resources" Mainpage
Second Level: Section-Sponsored PagesAll (or at least most) of the SBL's official "Sections" are listed and arranged topically. The smaller program units (Groups, Seminars, and Consultations) could also be included. The current "Consortia" could work together, and new "Consortia" could be formed. Some overlapping topics could be combined, and some missing gaps might be filled in.
Third Level: Subject-Specific WebsitesModel 1: The Section Steering/Website Committee creates one simple page listing a few "approved" or "recommended" websites in its field. Model 2: The Section Steering/Website Committee "adopts" or "co-sponsors" a large existing Website, and helps upgrade/expand it. Model 3: The Section Steering/Website Committee "creates" or "sponsors" its own official Website, with its own original content.
Model 1: All "recommended" Websites are of high academic quality; together they cover their field comprehensively. Model 2: The one "sponsored" Website is as comprehensive and objective as possible, yet still selective and creative. Model 3: The Section's official Steering/Website Committee "creates" or "sponsors" its own new Website, with its own content.
