| Here are some links that are most definitely worth checking out. Go ahead and click... |
| |
|
University of Malta |
| The official website of the only University on the island of Malta - an institution that is over 500 years old and still carries out its duties excellently (but I'm biased!). |
| |
|
Centre for Communication Technology |
|
The Centre that is my home most of the week. Not only does it
provide communication technology to all of the university, it is
also the home of the communications and instructional technology
courses. |
| |
|
My academic site |
| A
site under perpetual construction intended to provide notes, unit
descriptions, etc. which I hope my University students find useful. |
| |
|
Malta |
| What can be said about this link? It's my island home... |
| |
|
Il-Kunsill
Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb (National Book Council) |
| The
Council of which I am (for the time being, at least) chairman. A
hard working group of people who voluntarily visualise and carry out
activities that promote the book, particularly the Maltese one. The
Council organises the Book Fair, and the National Literary Prize,
along with a zillion other things all saying one thing: "Love
books". |

|
Lambiek Comiclopedia |
| A Dutch based resource for all comic fans all over the world. Sorry, but this link leads directly to MY page on the Comiclopedia. You can always click on home and go to all the other comic artists. |
| |
|
Marie Louise Kold |
| A brilliant young Danish artist who lives and works in Sweden. She works with intransigent metal that she then turns into marvellous works of art. She makes portraits from thousands of patinated squares, and also creates smaller works. A
couple of critical pieces I wrote in 2003 and 2005 about her work
are run on her website. |
| |
|
Trevor Zahra |
| Malta's undisputedly BEST writer/illustrator of children's books ... and a good guy to know. Trevor is one of my best friends, but that does not seem to stop him from being the best at what he does. His excellent website is a sincere tribute to his art and marvellous work. |
| |
|
Charles Casha |
| One of the first Maltese authors to write and publish books for children. Very few are unaware of his delightful character "Fra Mudest". Charles is also a writer for adults and one of my colleagues on the National Book Council. |
| |
|
Poezijaplus |
| The group that returned Maltese poetry to popularity. They are doing a great job of drawing lots of people to one of the most disregarded of the arts. Check this out and go to the next meeting. |
| |
|
Maltapoetry |
| A very interesting sampling of what Malta has to offer on the poetry front. A selection of poems (in Maltese and English) from established and beginning poets alike organised by PoezijaPlus. A good introduction to Maltese verse. |
| |
|
Marisa Attard |
| She's one of Malta's best illustrators. With her cartoony, fluid style, she captivates young and old alike. The books and magazines she has illustrated have ended up being colourful and VERY attractive. And she has a good site, too. |
| |
|
Andrew Micallef |
| Andrew has GOT to be the most meticulous graphic artist EVER, ANYWHERE! And he is technically BRILLIANT (sorry for all the capital letters, but just check out his site and you'll understand why I'm using so many). He is best at renditions of anything natural. AND can play a nifty ditty on the accordian (which is an understatement). |
| |
|
Search Malta.com |
| That repository of all things Maltese. Need to know anything at all about Malta and Gozo? Well, you are likely to find it here. |
| |
|
Aboutmalta.com |
| A fun and informative website about Malta and the Maltese. It's one of MALTA MEDIA's babies, AND it carries links to TONI SANT'S BLOG (Hi Toni!). |
| |
|
Adrian Grima |
| Adrian Grima's conglomerate of sites, which can be got to through his personal website, are worth visiting if you like the Maltese language and its literature. He's done an excellent job in bringing together difficult to get information about the councils and NGO's working on behalf of our language. And he updates the sites very, very regularly. |
| |
|
L-Akkademja tal-Malti |
| The highest authority on the Maltese language now has its own site on the net, and it's a mine of information! |
| |
|
The Times and The Sunday Times of Malta |
| Malta's best selling daily and Sunday papers. The Sunday edition
used to carried my socio-political comic strip between 1993 and
2008. |
