- Hi all!
-
- Sometime ago I asked a question in many of the network newsgroups,
- about the lack of a sci.demography newsgroup. I received a luke warm
- response about creating such a newsgroup.
-
- Anyway to cut a long story short, I'm announcing the formation of a
- demographic mailing list. It is to be open to all, and have no
- censorship.
-
- The charter of the demographic-list mailing list follows:
-
-
- This mailing list is concerned with the discussion of Demography,
- and Demographic Techniques.
-
- According to the United Nations Multilingual Demographic Distionary,
- 'Demography is the scientific study of human populations, primary
- with respect to their size, their structure and their development'.
-
- It is not just to be a forum for discussion and intellectual fray, but
- also a market-place for new ideas.
-
- This mailing list is supported by the:
- Computing Personal,
- Demography Program, Demography and Sociology Division,
- Research School of Social Sciences,
- Australian National University.
-
-
- To join the mailing list just mail the following two lines to
- majordomo@sorokin.anu.edu.au
-
- subscribe demographic-list
- end
-
- From then on all mail sent to demographic-list@sorokin.anu.edu.au
- will be reposted to all members subscribed to the list. Users can
- also easly unsubscribe from the mailing list at anytime.
