Feb. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Arabic Studies International (ASI), approaching it's sixth month in existence, has membership of over 200 individuals from 48 different countries.  Members are drawn to the news and information posted and shared on the site.  

The organization's most popular features include a job board, a listing of member publication, and a monthly e-newsletter that reports on upcoming calls for papers, abstracts, conferences, and news of interest to the Arabic fields of study.  Student members enjoy regular updates on scholarships and grants for which they may be eligible.

Finally, nothing can replace the interaction of like-minded professionals that can connect 48 countries (and counting!) in one place to share ideas and discussions.
