This is a summary of how to find email addresses for undergraduate and
graduate students, faculty and staff at various colleges and universities.  It
is available on the World-Wide Web (via browsers such as Mosaic or lynx) at
  <URL:http://www.qucis.queensu.ca:1999/FAQs/college-email/college.html>
If your university is not listed, send me a detailed description of how to
find email addresses there, in a format similar to what I have here, and I'll
add it to this list. Please mail ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, and
OTHER INFORMATION to me at
  [e-mail].
I will *not* answer requests for help finding a specific address; if the
school is not listed in this posting, I do not have any information about the
site.

NOTE: I have a backlog of corrections going back to December 1994 (although
some more recent changes have made it into the FAQ).  If you've sent me a
correction since then: it's still in the queue, and I should get to it within
the next month or two.  This last year has been a doozy....

An updated version of this list is posted every once in a while to the
newsgroups soc.college, soc.net-people and news.answers.  The version date for
this list is located at the top of the file.  The list is also available via
anonymous ftp from ftp.qucis.queensu.ca in directory pub/dalamb/college-email
as the files faq1.text, ..., faqN.text, where N is the current number of
parts.  Many FAQs are available by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu; this one
is in directory /pub/usenet/mail/college-email, files part1-partN.  You can
also send mail to "[e-mail]" with the subject
  send dalamb/college-email
or by sending a message to "[e-mail]" whose body contains
  send usenet/mail/college

After a discussion of general facilities for locating email addresses, we
present detailed information on locating the email addresses of students,
faculty and staff at various universities.  As of Feb 1993 I've started to tag
entries with the date I last changed them, so you have some clue as to how
stale the information might be.

Disclaimer: Most universities have restrictions on the uses of directory
information. So don't use this info for commercial purposes or whatnot without
securing permission from the individual colleges and universities.


It is considered rude to widely distribute (e.g., in a Usenet posting)
anyone's E-mail address without prior consent, even if the address is publicly
available using one of the techniques described below or some other technique.

It might seem that having one's E-mail address listed in a publicly accessible
database is equivalent to distributing it, but this is not the case in
practice, for three primary reasons:
  * Some people may not be aware that their addresses are available for others
    to locate.  For example, the majority of Usenet posters are unaware of the
    database of Usenet E-mail mentioned in the "finding addresses" FAQ
    (available via anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in
    pub/usenet/finding_addresses).
  * When some effort is required to locate a person's address (e.g., using the
    techniques described below), only people who have a specific reason to
    send mail will go to the trouble.  However, if the address is mentioned in
    a Usenet posting read by thousands of people, no effort is required to
    obtain it, and many more people will send mail.  Most people with E-mail
    addresses are not accustomed to receiving E-mail from strangers or large
    amounts of E-mail, and they may not be happy if they do.
  * As unwanted E-mail becomes more common, people will start to remove their
    addresses from public databases, which means that it will become more
    difficult to find people's addresses for legitimate reasons.

In summary, if you want to advertise someone's E-mail address, get his or her
permission before you do it.  Besides, if you're going to advertise an
address, it's a good idea to make sure it works first, and writing to it for
permission is a good way to do that.

[adapted from the "How to find people's E-mail addresses" FAQ, maintained at
 the time by Jonathan Kamens, at the suggestion of Dan Hoey]



There are several general facilities for locating an email address.  We
concentrate on those usable from the internet.

o finger                                              Changed: Thu Jul  1 1993

  Finger is a user information lookup program that lists the login name, full
  name, office location and phone number (if known), login time, idle time,
  time mail was last read, and the contents of the .plan and information
  listed varies from site to site, and not all sites allow remote fingering.
  [Plan files are "sys$login:plan" on VMS systems.]

  To use finger, simply call finger as follows
    finger <username>@<machinename>
  replacing <machinename> with the name of the appropriate machine, and
  <username> with the name of the person or the person's login ID.  For
  example,
    % finger [e-mail]
    [CS.CMU.EDU]

    [ Forwarding mkant as "[e-mail]" ]

    [A.GP.CS.CMU.EDU]
    Login name: mkant                       In real life: Mark Kantrowitz
    Directory: /usr2/mkant                  Shell: /usr/cs/bin/csh
    Last login Tue Apr  2 15:21 on ttyQ7 from LION.OZ.CS.CMU.EDU
    No new mail, last read on Thu Apr 11 16:27

  Notice how fingering my userid at the generic address forwarded the request
  to the correct machine. Many universities are set up to do forwarding in
  this manner, so that mail may be sent to the generic address and is
  automatically forwarded to the maildrop on the machine where the user
  receives his or her mail.

  Fingering using last names or full names may work, depending on the site:
    % finger [e-mail]
    [CS.CMU.EDU]
    [ Forwarding Mark.Kantrowitz as "[e-mail]" ]

    % finger [e-mail]
    [CS.CMU.EDU]
    [ Forwarding kantrowitz as "[e-mail]" ]
  Some sites with use an underscore (_) instead of a period (.) in the full
  name (e.g., Mark_Kantrowitz), or require an extra period to specify middle
  initials (Mark.X.Kantrowitz).

  If fingering using the last name doesn't work, you can try sampling various
  possibilities for userids. The following are some possibilities. After the
  description of each possibility, I give an example in square brackets with
  either the previous maintainer's name (Mark Kantrowitz, no middle initial -
  his was longer than mine!) or "John C Smith", and a generic acronym for the
  method, with f's for characters from the firstname, m for the middle
  initial, and l's for characters from the lastname; these acronyms will be
  used in the detailed listings section of this file.
    * Many UNIX sites limit userids to 8 characters, so try the first 8
      characters of the last name. [smith or kantrowi] llllllll
    * If there are two people with the same last name, the first initial (and
      possibly the middle initial as well) are appended at the front of the
      name. [jsmith or jcsmith] flllllll fmllllll
    * Try appending the initials at the end of the name. [smithj or smithjc]
      lllllllf llllllfm
    * Try the initials of the users name. [jcs] fml Unfortunately, you cannot
      finger to bitnet addresses (unless they are also on the internet).

o whois/nicname                                       Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993

  Whois is the internet user name directory service. Do
    whois help
  or
    nicname -h
  to get a help message. The whois and nicname programs will check the
  database maintained at rs.internic.net (or nic.ddn.mil for U.S.  military
  sites) for the given names. For example,
    nicname <name>
  or
    whois <name>
  or
    whois -h <host> <names>
  where <host> is some site with a whois server.  This is only useful for
  people listed in the database. Many regional networks and some universities
  maintain their own NICs.

  You can also get some of this information by telneting to rs.internic.net
  and running whois and host there.

o Merit Network NetMail database

  Allows one to find the appropriate bitnet, internet or uucp address for a
  site given part of the address.
    telnet hermes.merit.edu
  At the "Which Host?" prompt, type netmailsites then enter any part of the
  address you want.

o nslook/nslookup and hostq programs

  Some sites have programs which will give you information about a host given
  its name or IP address. Some such programs include nslook, nslookup, and
  hostq.

o Netfind

  Use a netfind client or server program to search for
    name domain
  where name is the last name of the individual and domain is the domain name.
  You can use Netfind by telnet/rlogin to bruno.cs.colorado.edu (use userid
  "netfind" with no password).
    gopher
  Gopher is an Internet-wide distributed document retrieval service.  If your
  site has a gopher client program, you can use it to access gopher servers at
  other sites; domain X.edu might have a gopher server gopher.X.edu, but
  there's no guarantee.  One kind of document sites often place under gopher
  is their phonebook.  Most Gopher servers have pointers to a complete list of
  ph servers used by all sorts of organizations.  You can enter various
  criteria, in an easy-to-use manner, and it will return the info that you
  didn't give (if, of course, there are no more than 20 entries that match.
  This is to prevent people getting mailing lists via the ph servers.)

o help/gripe/olc

  If your site has consultants or facilities staff responsible for helping
  users/fixing bugs/maintaining software, try sending them mail. Often they
  will be able to help you. If you don't know how to contact these people, ask
  someone in your department, or try sending mail to the userid 'help'.

o postmaster                                          Changed: Thu Jul  1 1993

  Most sites have an individual responsible for network and mail operations at
  the site, usually with the userid of 'postmaster'.  These people are usually
  very busy, so before bothering one of them, try telephoning the person you
  are trying to reach.  Long distance is expensive for you, but less
  expensive, globally, than the postmaster's time.  The one reasonable
  exception is if you're sending mail and getting messages in response that
  suggest some sort of mail system problem; you might report the problem to
  postmaster at your own site, who may in turn contact postmaster at the
  destination site.

  Many postmasters will refuse to answer questions about user identification,
  for reasons of privacy, though they may be willing to forward *your* address
  so your intended recipient can write to you.

o /etc/hosts                                          Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993

  Mail routing on UNIX machines on the internet use to use a large file called
  /etc/hosts to validate host names.  We used to advise you to examine this
  file to guess host names when all else fails - but that really isn't useful
  anymore.  Use one of the above methods instead.

o LISTSERV

  If the person is subscribed to a mailing list through a LISTSERV server,
  sending mail to the server with the line
    WHOIS <name>
  may catch the person. For example, [e-mail]. This is an
  unlikely option. It also does not work with all listserv implementations.

o Internet to America Online

  Creating the Internet version of an America Online address requires that you
  know the conversion rule. You ignore the case, remove the spaces, and add
  "@aol.com" to the end of the address.  Thus, an America Online address "Jane
  Doe" becomes "[e-mail]" (without the quotes, of course).  Internet
  mail incoming to America Online is trucated at 27 kilobytes.

o Internet to Prodigy                                 Created: Mon Sep  6 1993

  Around July 1993 there were rumours that Prodigy was beta-testing an
  Internet gateway. We don't know if there would be any cost to Prodigy users,
  but they need new software, called Mail Manager, and can sign up for
  Internet access at JUMP INTERNET. Prodigy users would receive Internet mail
  via the address format
    [e-mail]
  where "abcd12a" is the recipient's Prodigy user ID.

o Internet to GEnie                                   Created: Wed Nov  9 1994

  Creating the Internet version of a GEnie address requires that you add
  "@genie.geis.com" to the end of the address.  Thus, a GEnie address "J.DOE3"
  becomes "[e-mail]" (without the quotes, of course).  There is
  no added cost to GEnie users (beyond normal connect-time charges) to send or
  receive Internet mail. GEnie addresses are case-insensitive, but you should
  preserve periods.

o Internet to DELPHI                                  Created: Wed Nov  9 1994

  Delphi users can recieve Internet EMail at <username>@delphi.com.  Usernames
  are user-defined and vary from handles to real names.  Only Delphi users can
  gain information on other Delphi users from within Delphi -- an Internet-
  wide finger facility is (unfortunately) unavailable.



Addresses on the United Kingdon academic network (JANET) have their components
reversed. For example, @uk.ac.dund.mcs works on JANET, but in the rest of the
world use @mcs.dund.ac.uk instead.



Abilene Christian University, College of Biblical Studies (Abilene, Texas): Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995
    World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://bible.acu.edu>.
    Email to [e-mail].  Gopher service at
      <URL:gopher://bible.acu.edu>.  Anonymous FTP, finger also available.
    Listserv available at [e-mail]

Abo Akademi University (Turku, Finland):              Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Host: finabo.abo.fi.  Finger available.

Alfred University:                                    Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred)
    Internet: bigvax.alfred.edu
    Bitnet:   ALFREDU or CERAMICS
    Almost all students and faculty have email adresses in the form
      lastnamefm, but exceptions abound.  Connecting via telnet to
      bigvax.alfred.edu and logging on as GENERAL will connect to the
      GENERAL account, which supports username searches. Outside finger is
      not supported.

American University:                                  Created: Wed Nov  9 1994
    Finger firstname or [e-mail] works for some faculty and
      the occasional student.  You generally need to know social security
      numbers to find people (!)
    Userids since about 1992 have been [e-mail], where nnnn is
      last four digits of social security number, and X is a letter used
      to distinguish duplicates (starts with A for the first name, then B,
      etc.)
    Older userids (e.g for many administrators and faculty) may be FLLLLLL
      or Lastnam (7 characters).

Amherst College:
    Students, Faculty, Staff: [e-mail].  Usernames are of the
      form fmllllll (e.g., jqstudent), but truncated to 12 letters instead
      of 8.
    Amherst.edu has a finger daemon running, but it requires an exact
      username match (i.e. finger [e-mail]) doesn't work, as a
      rule.  It's also worth trying usernames like flllllll in case the
      person in question didn't register their middle initial with the
      College.

Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH):                 Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995
    [e-mail]
    All students, faculty, administrators, staff, and alum who request
      accounts can get them.  Almost all follow First Initial lastname
      setup.  Offices, such as ADMISSIONS, COOP etc have alias accounts.
      Best bet is to send mail to [e-mail] or
      [e-mail]

Arizona State University:                             Changed: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Finger [e-mail];  all persons (students or staff)
      registered in ASU can be "finger"ed.  Email addresses are unreliable
      though since not everyone has started using accounts yet. But most
      grads and computer/Usenet literate undergrads do.
    The engineering grads/ugrads are on enuxsa.eas.asu.edu.  Most other
      machine info should be available from netfind's seed database
      search.

Arizona State University:
    Academic Machines: Grad, Undergrad.  The phone book for ASU's
      Faculty/Students is available online by telnetting (using the IBM's
      fullscreen interface using tn3270) to asuvm.inre.asu.edu and logging
      on as HELLOASU. The phone book has both email addresses for academic
      machines as well as the phone nos. (602 is the area code for all of
      Arizona)
    Engineering machines: Grad, Undergrad.
      enuxha.eas.asu.edu   -- Unix -- can finger first/last names or
        userids
      enuxva.eas.asu.edu   -- Unix -- same as above
      envmsa.eas.asu.edu   -- VMS  -- Only userid fingering works.
    Usually csc and eee undergrads who use comps get accts on enuxha and
      almost all grads have accts on enuxha which is the most popular
      machine due to Usenet.

Atlantic Computer Institute (Halifax, N.S.):          Created: Thu Nov 10 1994
    Students: [e-mail].  Userid is in the form firstnamel, to
      a maximum of 8 characters.  If the firstname is less than 7
      characters, the userid is in the form firstname-l, e.g. Richard Doe
      would be richardd, John Doe would be john-d.

Auburn University: (Auburn, AL):
    Engineering: eng.auburn.edu
    Other departments: ducvax.auburn.edu
    Try fingering at waterman.eng.auburn.edu, lab1.eng.auburn.edu,
    newton.eng.auburn.edu or netman.eng.auburn.edu.

Augustana College (Rock Island, IL):                  Changed: Wed Dec  7 1994
    [e-mail]

Augustana College (Sioux Falls, SD):                  Created: Fri Oct  8 1993
    [e-mail].  Student usernames are fmlastname.  Faculty
      usernames are lastname.

Australian Defence Force Academy (Canberra, Australia): Created: Thu Jul  1 1993
    Faculty and staff: [e-mail]

Australian National University (ANU):                 Created: Mon Mar 22 1993

        huxley.anu.edu.au  -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
        coombs.anu.edu.au  -- Unix -- GNU finger, allows first/last names
      Undergrad: userds lllfxxxx, where xxxx is course name/unit number.
        e.g. stuaca11 is A.Student doing Computer Science unit A11.
        fac3.anu.edu.au    -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
        fac4.anu.edu.au    -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
    Computer Science:
      boris.anu.edu.au   -- Unix -- finger on usernames only

Ball State University:

Barnard:                                              Changed: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Barnard College, affiliated with Columbia.
    Students and staff get free accounts on a PC-based system running
      cc:mail (no finger, gopher, etc.)  There is no known way of looking
      up addresses.  They can also request accounts on Columbia's systems.
    Students: LLLLLFFM@@barnard.columbia.edu (or
      @smtplink.barnard.columbia.edu)
    As of October 1993, Columbia will list Barnard directory information,
    so mail to [e-mail] will probably reach Barnard
    recipients.

Bates College (Lewiston, Maine):
    Students and Faculty: [e-mail]
    Userids are of the form flllllll.  Numbers are added to the end
    of the userid in case of name conflicts, e.g. asmith, asmith2, asmith3
    If the name is unique you can use [e-mail]

Baylor College of Medicine:
    The central mail server is bcm.tmc.edu and finger [e-mail]
      will get you any faculty or staff user that makes use of the central
      mail facility. finger [e-mail] will get you any
      student that makes use of the student email facility.
    whois -h whois.bcm.tmc.edu gets you the on-line phone/address book.
      This is directly tied to the BCM personnel database, so the
      information is as accurate as possible.
    Questions about these facilities should be directed to
      [e-mail]

    Finger first or last name @vax1.bemidji.msus.edu.  Logins are chosen
      by students and are normally less than 8 characters.

Bentley College (Waltham, MA):                        Created: Fri Nov 25 1994
    Graduate and undergraduate students: [e-mail]

    Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.bu.edu>; finger @bu.edu accepts
      usernames, first.last, OR index_ids; the usual way to do this is to

    CS students (grad and undergrad) have accounts on cs.brandeis.edu,
      which is fingerable.
    For phone information: On-campus students can be reached by dialing an
      automated "spell-the-name" server at [phone] , 24 hours a
      day, or during business hours through the Brandeis operator at +1
      617 736 2000.  Off-campus students' numbers can be obtained through
      the campus information booth at [phone] during business
      hours.
    Some undergrads have accounts on a more advanced unix machine,
      chaos.cs.brandeis.edu.  Userids are chosen by the student; finger
      {lastname}@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu or mail to
      [e-mail] for info.
    Graduate Students: binah.cc.brandeis.edu (brandeis.bitnet).  Not all
      use them; write to [e-mail] for information.
      Userid is chosen by the student.  A few undergrads have binah
      accounts.
    DIRECTIONS to Brandeis can be had 24 hours at [phone].

Brandon University (Brandon, Manitoba, Canada):       Created: Wed Nov  9 1994

Brown:
    You can send mail to [e-mail] if the user uses
      email and it will forward the mail to him or her. To find out
      whether the user has an email address, finger their name at
      brown.edu. This will return their preferred phone number, address,
      and email address if they use it.
    You can also try looking for undergrads on: brownvm.brown.edu
      (brownvm.bitnet) Username is some random alphanumerics.
    CS: cs.brown.edu (userids are usually initials)

Bryn Mawr College:
    [e-mail] ([e-mail])
    The former is fingerable, unlike the .bitnet address. This
    machine is mostly used by undergrads.

Bucknell University:                                  Changed: Wed Nov  9 1994
    general: [e-mail]
    cs: [e-mail]
    usernames are typically last names, but if the last name is 4 letters
      or shorter, the first and middle initials are tacked onto the front.
    First initials are frequently used in usernames.  The first user with
      any given last name who gets an account gets just his last name as
      the username.  Every subsequent person with that name gets a first
      initial and then middle initials are used.

Calvin College: calvin.edu:
    Use 'finger [e-mail]' (eg firstname or lastname) to find
      addresses, since userids include parts of student numbers, so are
      hard to guess.
    Students:  flllllnn (first intitial, first 5 of last name, last 2
      digits of student number; except lastnames starting with Dutch
      prefixes Van Vander Vande etc., where just the v and first 4 letters
      of second part of lastname.  Thus Henk Vander Bos, #123456, becomes
      hvbos56, Al Shoemaker, #987654, becomes ashoem54)
    (formerly s0###### where ###### is the student id number)
    Faculty/staff:  [e-mail] where "xxxx" is the standard faculty
      abbrevation, often lastname

Cambridge University (Cambridge, England):            Created: Sat Mar 27 1993
    Telnet to info.cam.ac.uk and log in as "info"; you then get an online
      information system about Cambridge, which according to rumour can
      help you find people (though I got lost in a maze of twisty
      hypertext when I tried it).

Carnegie Mellon University:                           Changed: Tue Nov  8 1994
    Finger @cmu.edu to find people.  You can try mailing to [e-mail],
      but as of late 1993 it doesn't always work; mail to whatever
      destination Finger tells you about, instead.
    All undergraduate students and some faculty, staff, and graduate
      students: Mail sent to [e-mail] works, even if
      the name is slightly misspelled. Most Andrew usernames are two
      initials followed by two characters that will appear random to
      outsiders.  Usernames are arbitrary; to tell the mailer you're
      supplying an exact username, not to be pattern-matched with closely
      matching names, add a + at the end of the name: [e-mail].
      If you try an ambiguous name, you'll get mail back with a list of
      matches.

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland:           Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
    Use 'whois -h whois.cwru.edu' to find usernames.  It supports
      substring and soundex searches.  If there is a * beside an address,
      it has not been activated.
    po.cwru.edu is the post office. Every student, professor, and staff
      member has access to email through this machine, as do alumni who
      activated their accounts while students. (Not everybody activates
      their account, however.) User ids are of the form fml##, where ## is
      a number, probably less than 30. The number is omitted if equal to
      1. If there's no middle initial, m is an 'x'.
    skybridge.scl.cwru.edu is the server for the undergraduate Unix lab.
      The user ids on that machine are the full last name, for the most
      part. (Mainly Computer Engineering and EE's on this machine.)
    You can also search the Cleveland Freenet user list for CWRU people by
      any part of the name; telnet to freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, choose
      "Visitor", "Explore the system" and at the prompt, "go directory"
    CS/computer engineering majors may have accounts on the CS cluster;
      finger any part of the name @alpha.ces.cwru.edu.  Userids are
      usually full last name.
    EE majors and those in related courses may have accounts on the EE
      HP/UX cluster; finger @snowhite.eeap.cwru.edu.  Userids are usually
      the first six letters of the last name.

    All usernames are limited to 12 characters.  For students, names are 2
      digits followed by lastname.  For faculty and staff, usernames are
      the last name, occasionally with the first initial tacked on at the
      end.

City Polytechnic of Hong Kong:                        Created: Fri Mar 31 1995

    Students, employees, alumni: [e-mail] (up to 12
      characters, unique in the first 8).  Duplicate userids are resolved
      with a trailing digit.  This address isn't fingerable.
      [e-mail] is willing to be helpful in tracking
      usernames.
    An ULTRIX machines, black.clarku.edu can also be used by anyone.  It
      is fingerable.

Clarkson University:
    craft.camp.clarkson.edu: _ALL_ students are given an account on this
      machine.
    sun.soe.clarkson.edu: School of Engineering Sun server. A lot of
      students doing research have accounts on this machine.
    clvm.clarkson.edu: Administrative computer. Fairly isolated.  Profs.
      and Admin. have accounts on this computer for things like class
      lists.  (I'm not sure how much use this is because it seems that all
      you can do is find out if someone is logged in or not.)
    craft.camp and sun.soe are very usefull for finding students and many
      faculty also have accounts on these machines.

Clemson University:                                   Changed: Wed Nov  9 1994

    All students have accounts assigned through various butcherings of
      their names on the machine at clemson.clemson.edu (an IBM/390).
      Most students/faculty that use the Internet, or those that just want
      to use USENET, have accounts with identical account names on
      hubcap.clemson.edu (currently a VAX, but will be an Alpha by early
      '94, UNIX at any rate).

    All students and academic faculty & staff have e-mail addresses of the
      form [e-mail].  Finger also supports partial name
      searches.
    The Department of Computer Science has its own domain.  Addresses are
      of the form [e-mail].  userid is user-selectable, and of no
      standard form.  Finger supports partial name searches.
    Some other departments (e.g. Physics) have their own domains.

      Columbia subject to the information being reported by the manager of
      each system.  Note, students have the right to withhold directory
      information and in that case you will not find them.  Barnard
      College names should be available by October 1993.  Teachers College
      and Union Theological do not (yet) provide student information for
      this directory, though Teachers' College should do so soon.
    Finger @columbia.edu for last login on any of the new cluster of
      hosts.  Some problems with this finger are being ironed out.
    Law students have accounts on lawmail.law.columbia.edu, which has had
      delivery problems during 1993.
    Columbia students [only] can get free accounts. Anybody affiliated
      with Columbia, Barnard, and Teachers College can pay for an account
      which has less limitations than the free ones.

      Use variations such as  finger [e-mail]    or finger
      "firstname lastname"@qi.cornell.edu.
    Names are available via Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher-
      hole.cit.cornell.edu>.  Some people choose to add information such
      as street addresses, phone and FAX numbers, nicknames, and so on.
    The CIT HelpDesk at [e-mail] (607/255-8990) is willing to
      help find e-mail addresses.

Dakota State University (Madison, SD):
    finger dsuvax.dsu.edu for electronic mail addresses for any member of
      the faculty, staff, or student body.  Addresses are typically the

    Medical students and faculty: [e-mail]
    School of Business Administration students:  moon.sba.dal.ca (VAX/VMS)
    Finger works for UNIX systems and moon.
    The university phone book, containing e-mail addresses for faculty and
      staff who have phones, is accessible by e-mail queries.  Address a
      one line message "FIND last-name" to "[e-mail]".  The last
      name must be spelt correctly and in full.
    A directory of users on the central academic system is also available
      by e-mail query.  Address a message to "[e-mail]" with one
      or more lines of the form "FIND name".  If you have a signature
      file, follow the FIND command(s) with the command "FINISH" so the
      signature isn't processed.  The name may be a username, first name,
      or last name.
    Usernames on the central academic system of the form AAAA9999 (four
      letters followed by four digits) are course accounts.  They are
      valid only for the duration of the course.  All students at
      Dalhousie are entitled to a personal username that may be renew from
      year to year; which should be used for e-mail in preference to a
      course username.
    Many departments and researchers have computer systems or Novell
      networks that support e-mail.  These may respond to FINGER
      (ac.dal.ca doesn't).

Daniel Webster College (Nashua, NH):                  Created: Thu Nov 10 1994
    Students: [e-mail] or [e-mail].

      truncated at seven characters (jrandomu).
    av8r is fingerable, matchable on first or last name.

Dartmouth:
    Send mail to [e-mail] (or fname.mi.lname if it is a
      very common name). If the name is ambiguous, you might want to
      finger [e-mail] for info about exact mail
      address. Dartmouth.Edu resolves all mail through the Dartmouth Name
      Directory, which stores preferred email addresses for all students,
      faculty, and staff members.
    If the name is unique, you can even send mail to [e-mail].
      Most undergrads have accounts on mac.dartmouth.edu. Students who
      don't use any email address get the automatic default,
      @hinman.dartmouth.edu, which prints out the email and drops it into
      campus mail.

Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA):                     Created: Wed Mar 24 1993

      [e-mail]       [e-mail]
    Usernames are typically the lastname (truncated at 8 characters)
      suffixed with the first few letters of the firstname when needed for
      uniqueness.  Examples:
        Username        Person
        --------        ------

    [e-mail]
    Students: fml### (or fl0### if no middle name), where the numbers
      distinguish among people with the same initials (usually 00#;
      informants don't know the method for choosing these numbers)
    Faculty: fl###1R where the numbers are the last three digits of the
      social security number.  Finger works only for exact userids.
    Drake maintains a standard phone directory; telnet to acad.drake.edu,
      login as "drakeinfo" (no password required).  E-mail addresses are
      not currently listed, but other directory information is.
    Students must reopen their accounts each semester, but userids remain
      consistent.

Drew University (Madison, NJ):
    All students, faculty, and staff have accounts on drew.drew.edu

    Duke University Computer Assist Center provides general use accounts
      for most students and faculty.  Mail addressed to
      <user>@acpub.duke.edu should be forwarded to the appropriate account
      on any of the Academic Computing hosts.  Computer Science is
      cs.duke.edu. Math is math.duke.edu; physics.duke.edu and
      law.duke.edu also exist (along with lots of other departmental
      domains.)   There is also a BITNET site (dukemvs.ac.duke.edu or
      dukemvs.BITNET)
    Account names are NOT standardized on any of the systems.
    Math profs are probably {initials}@math.duke.edu
    Physics profs are probably {initials}@physics.duke.edu
    Duke Law School is under the address charon.law.duke.edu, which is
      fingerable, but student.law.duke.edu seems to be the better mailing
      address.  Usernames can be hard to discover;
      [e-mail] has volunteered to forward mail to
      Law School faculty and staff, and suggests
      [e-mail] might be willing to do the same for
      students.

      bacchus.acpub.duke.edu. Mail to other machines will get forwarded to
      it. For usernames, people are allowed to select their own.  However,
      the Engineering school has taken to setting up accounts for its
      students, grads, and ugrads, and uses initials (fml) with possibly a
      number in case of name conflict.  Everyone else could have anything
      as their userid, though people are encouraged to use their first
      initial and last name.
    Bitnet gateway: dukemvs.bitnet (dukemvs.ac.duke.edu)
    Math profs are probably {initials}@math.duke.edu
    Physics profs are probably {initials}@physics.duke.edu
    Other machines: cs.duke.edu, egr.duke.edu, psych.duke.edu
    Duke Law School is under the address charon.law.duke.edu, which is
      fingerable, but student.law.duke.edu seems to be the better mailing
      address.  Usernames can be hard to discover;
      [e-mail] has volunteered to forward mail to
      Law School faculty and staff, and suggest
      [e-mail] might be willing to do the same for
      students.
