2. Scope of the Directory
******
This directory contains descriptions of electronic
conferences (e-conferences) on topics of interest to
scholars. 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.

****************************************************
The field labels are as follows:
LN: (e-conference name)
TI: (topic information)
SU: (subscription information)
ED: (edited? Yes or No - Private lists were called edited)
AR: (archived? if Yes, frequency, Private=subscribers only)
MO: (moderator, editor, listowner, manager, coordinator,etc.)
SA: (submission address(es))
KE: (keywords)
****************************************************

Topic descriptions are taken in whole or part from the
descriptions provided by each moderator. Thank you to Marty
Hoag, Listowner of New-List for providing the archives of
New-List as a clearing house for list information. Special
thank you to David Hartland. NISP/Mailbase Project, Computing
Service, The University, Newcastle upon Tyne for information
on 235 of the United Kingdom MAILBASE e-conferences. Thank
you also to Teri Harrison for updating and providing
information on the COMSERVE conferences, Pedro Saizar for
providing information on Latin American Studies electronic
conferences, Joseph Van Zwaren for Israeli electronic
conference information, and Joan Korenman for information on
Women's Studies conferences, Jean Schneider for confirming
european e-conferences and Hunter Monroe for checking on the
unannounced and relocated e-conferences. Thank you very
sincerely to all the individuals who contributed conference
names, information and feedback about conference statuses.

section. If you can provide corrections or additional

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-
REQUEST@CS.WISC.EDU). 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.

5. Definitions
**********
 
BITNET--Because Its Time Network...BITNET was established as
an academic network for scholars from different universities
all over the world to communicate with each other.  BITNET
uses RSCS protocol.  This means that messages/commands are
"leap-frogged" from one BITNET connected Computer to another
(e.g., Kent State University to Ohio State University to
University of Houston).
 
EARN-- is the European Academic Research Network and works
similarly to (and is directly connected to) the Bitnet.
 
FTP-- File Transfer Protocol, allows moving files from one
computer to another using the Internet protocols.
 
Internet-- The international network of networks based on the
TCP/IP protocol.  That is, to be connected to the Internet, a
computer must be running the TCP/IP software, have a
registered domain, and a telecommunications connection to
other computers running TCP/IP (e.g., connected through
OARNET).
 
Usenet-- A worldwide Unix-based network that supports the
distribution of messages; e.g., USENET NEWS
 
*If you find other terms that you would like to understand
please contact us and we'll be glad to help.

6. Archives
**********
 
Archives are available for many discussions.  On LISTSERV,
COMSERVE, MAILSERV and MAILBASE to receive a list of files
available from a server send the command:
 
INDEX LISTNAME to SERVER@NODEID
 
You can then send the message:
GET Filename Filetype to the SERVER@NODEID.
(SERVER means LISTSERV or COMSERVE or MAILBASE or MAILSERV or
whatever, NODEID means the site of the server which runs the
e-conference)
 
It is also possible to search Bitnet LISTSERV and COMSERVE
discussion archives for items of particular interest to you.
For details on archives searching:
 
For LISTSERV send the message
 
INFO DATABASE
 
to a LISTSERV of your choice. (e.g. LISTSERV@PSUVM)
 
For COMSERVE send the message
 
HELPFILE
 
to COMSERVE@RPIECS
 
Some discussions maintain archives available via anonymous
FTP.  This is noted where available.  In the next revision
sites where archives are maintained on other types of
Internet server, e.g. GOPHER, WWW.
