- Library-Oriented Computer Conferences and Electronic Serials
-
- By Charles W. Bailey, Jr.
-
-
- 1.0 Computer Conferences
-
- Computer conferences are becoming an increasingly important form
- of communication for librarians. There are a growing number of
- computer conferences of interest to librarians on BITNET and
- Internet.
-
- Computer conferences on both BITNET and Internet are
- commonly called "lists."
-
- Many BITNET lists utilize the Revised LISTSERV software, which
- was written by ERIC Thomas. This software is referred to
- as the "list server." You can obtain a directory of LISTSERV
- documentation by sending the following e-mail message to any list
- server:
-
- INFO ?
-
- Once you know the name of the desired documentation file, send
- another INFO command to the list server to obtain the file. For
- example, to get a file that describes searching the message
- database of a list, send the following command:
-
- INFO DATABASE
-
- Internet lists use diverse software. Contact the person who
- sponsors the list you are interested in to get further
- information about how the list software works.
-
