They might offer you some information in your field. I is run out of the University of Colorado, but has a world-wide base. Folks are more than helpful in supplying information. If you would like subscription info, drop me a line. There is also TEACHSOC which is a wonderful source of information on teaching sociology on a number of levels. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you.
