2. Scope of the Directory
******
This directory contains descriptions of electronic
conferences (e-conferences) on topics of interest to
scholars. The 8th revision includes relevant new e-conferences
created as of January 1, 1994. E-conference is the umbrella term
that includes discussion lists, Internet interest groups, e-
journals, e-newsletters, Usenet newsgroups, forums, etc. We have
used our own judgment in deciding what is of scholarly interest,
and accept any advice or argument about our decisions. We
have placed the entries into categories by deciding the
*dominant* academic subject area of the electronic
conference. Usenet Newsgroups have been directly reviewed
for inclusion in this version. The Internet and Bitnet
addresses are marked with an (I) or a (B) respectively. Earn
and Usenet sites are marked with an (E) or a (U)
respectively.
Many LISTSERV e-conferences have peer sites, in order to save
space we have only listed the main LISTSERV node for these.
Where possible, the information in each record has been
checked for currency and accuracy by contacting the
moderators or other contact person.
We chose the term *moderator* as the umbrella term to
describe: contact person, coordinator, listowner, editor,
moderator, etc.; whoever is in charge.
****************************************************

LN: (e-conference name)

thank you to David Hartland. NISP/Mailbase Project, Computing
Service, The University, Newcastle upon Tyne for information

4. General Subscription Instructions:
**********
To subscribe to a LISTSERV (both Unix Internet and IBM/VM
LISTSERV software is in use. Both Internet and Bitnet
addresses are provided where possible), COMSERVE, LISTPROC,
MAILBASE, MAILSERV, MAJORDOMO, NEWSERV or SARASERV discussion
list send an e-mail message addressed to the Bitnet or
Internet address provided in the SU: field. Leave the
subject line blank. The text of the message *must* read:
SUBSCRIBE LISTNAME Yourfirstname Yourlastname Your
Institution
(LISTNAME means the name of the list..e.g. if the LN: field
says LIBREF-L@KENTVM.KENT.EDU..the LISTNAME is LIBREF-L)
Bitnet users should use the Bitnet address. Internet users
should use the Internet server address. Do not include any
other text and *leave the subject line blank* as this is
being read by a computer and not a person....the machine just
won't understand and will bounce back your command if it is
not worded as specified above.
To subscribe to Internet Interest Groups, you send an e-mail
message to list-REQUEST@host (e.g., SOC-CULTURE-GREEK-
[log in to unmask]). The -REQUEST address gets you to the
Coordinator, rather than to the membership of the entire e-
conference. Please look carefully at the entry for each list
you are interested in, to see if a -REQUEST address has been
provided. Include your name, address, and institutional
affiliation in your message
Usenet Newsgroups are generally accessed by typing "RN" or
"NN" at the shell prompt, ready screen or $ prompt on your e-
mail account. Check with your Computer Services People to
find out what the local availability and procedures are for
access to Usenet Newsgroups.
Subscription directions for other types of discussions are
included with individual entries.
