- > "The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List"
- >
- > GENERAL INFORMATION:
- > This list has been established as an international electronic forum
- > for anyone using or interested in using the bibliographic textbase
- > software program PRO-CITE and its companion BIBLIO-LINK programs
- > published by Personal Bibliographic Software. These software
- > programs provide the means to automate a wide variety of scholarly
- > tasks related to the retrieval, organization, and use of
- > bibliographic data. They operate on both MS-DOS and Macintosh
- > platforms. With the much enhanced version 2.0 of Pro-Cite now
- > available for both systems, it seemed like a good time to establish a
- > Bitnet discussion group, whose existence could facilitate the rapid
- > sharing of concerns, interests, problems and solutions among members
- > at all levels of use.
- >
- > The owner of this list is Mark T. Day, Associate Librarian in the
- > Indiana University Reference Department and Coordinator of its newly
- > created Library Electronic Text Resource Service. I began using
- > Pro-Cite and Biblio-Links while working at the Indiana Cooperative
- > Library Services Authority from 1988-1990 as their Library
- > Microcomputer Specialist and have felt for some time that an
- > electronic discussion group, modelled after the several similar
- > groups that already exist for other library and scholarly oriented
- > software products, would be a very useful forum for advancing
- > communication among those of us who work heavily with bibliographic
- > data.
- >
- > For the list to be successful in serving the needs of its members,
- > however, those members must be active contributors to the discussion.
- > Currently the list operates in a non-moderated mode, in which all
- > messages sent to the list automatically will be posted to all other
- > members. Answers to questions sent out over the list will go to all
- > members IF YOU POST YOUR ANSWER TO THE LIST, but will only go to the
- > person who sent the original message if YOU REPLY TO THE ORIGINAL
- > MESSAGE (more on the details of how to send and receive messages,
- > obtain archived copies of previous correspondence, etc, below). So
- > IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR INFORMATION about some aspect of a PBS
- > product, SUBSCRIBE NOW AND JOIN THE DISCUSSION.
- >
- >
- > HOW TO JOIN & SEND MESSAGES:
- > 1) To join PRO-CITE, send the following one line e-mail message:
- > SUBSCRIBE PRO-CITE Last Name, First Name

- > ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- > Indiana University Computing Services provides the computer space and
- > software to support BITNET lists on its IUBVM node as a service to
- > the research oriented needs of IU faculty, staff, and graduate
- > students. The Indiana University Libraries supports the
- > administration of electronic discussion lists as a professional
- > activity of its faculty. However, neither of these organizations
- > verify the accuracy of submitted messages or endorse the opinions
- > expressed by authors of messages. The list owner will attempt to
- > monitor this particular list and help keep it focused on problems
- > related to personal bibliographic software issues, but authors of
- > PRO-CITE messages are considered to be solely responsible for their
- > own comments.
- >
- > Since this is a new list, with 88 subscribers as of July 26, 1992,
- > there is no way to tell how many messages you are likely to receive,
- > but similar lists for micro based software vary greatly from no
- > messages in some weeks to several per day at other times. As
- > messages start to be received they will be automatically archived on
- > a monthly basis and can be retrieved as necessary with standard
- > listserv retrieval and search commands:
- >
- > 1) You will be able to obtain a list of available archive files
- > by sending an INDEX PRO-CITE command to LISTSERV@IUBVM.
- > 2) Such files can be retrieved by issuing a GET PRO-CITE LOGYYMM command,
- > where "YY" stands for the year and "MM" stands for the month.
- > 3) If you are curious about who your fellow subscribers to this list are,
- > send the message REVIEW PRO-CITE to LISTSERV@IUBVM.
