Re: New member on the list

Hi Stefan,

Yes, books and biblios. In fact, tomorrow I will be running a free referencing
workshop for some of my Holistic Counselling coursemates who lost marks unnecessarily
over the lack of referencing.

As a "democratic" religion (etc), Buddhists (esp Asian Buddhists, sometimes serious
traditional teachers) tend to produce tracts and works with almost no referencing
which makes it difficult for scholars and serious students to use those materials.

Sukhi.
