As with the other sections of Academic Info, resources are updated regularly, and most are annotated with brief, helpful descriptions. The site is divided into six sections: Indexes & Directories, Digital Library, News & Media Sources, Taliban/ bin Laden/ Al-Quida, Women in Afghanistan, and Organizations. In addition, Madin has added a new page of resources to his American Studies section related to the September 11 attacks on United States targets.
