This Directory is part of an ongoing project and is updated as new electronic journals and newsletters come into existence and as existing entries are changed. Every effort has been made to provide the user with up-to-date information. Most entries have been either provided from or scrutinized by the journal and newsletter editors themselves to assure accuracy. The primary intent of this Directory is to catalog all existing electronic journals and newsletters that are available over the various academic networks. A secondary intention is to catalog all e-serials that are being produced over the commercial networks. Thus, over time this Directory will provide an entirely comprehensive listing of all e-serials. As the traditional taxonomy of "journal" and "newsletter" is ill-suited to the diversity of formats found within the networks, a third category of "Hypercard Stacks, Digest-Newsletters and Others" (Section 4) is here included. This section catalogs hypercard stacks and other formats that represent significant sources of information that are similar in nature to journals and newsletters. It should be noted that digests which are straightforward collections of conversational questions and answers are considered to be a type of list, but any digests which mix a simple list format with the newsletter format are here included. Ordinary (conversational) digests and lists are covered in Diane Kovacs' compilation, Academic Lists. Thus, no attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive listing of the hundreds of existing digests in this Directory. For a complete catalog of digests and lists the reader is encourage to retrieve the Global List with the command: TELL LISTSERV AT NDSUVM1 GET INTEREST PACKAGE Or through FTP to 192.33.33.22 (NISC.SRI.COM) GET /netinfo/interest-groups Warning - this file will be sent to you in twelve or more sections and is over 500K in size. The philosophy behind the presentation of the information within this Directory is based on the intention of providing the reader with the most up-to-date information that is possible and in the most comprehensive fashion. Thus, I have avoided editing descriptions as size is not a factor for an e-text. I have also listed partial entries in the interest of providing the reader with the maximum of available information (these incomplete entries will be marked as such). This makes it possible for the reader to follow leads I have not yet completed and, in turn, to provide me with information not yet represented in the latest edition of the Directory. Users of this document are encouraged to sent me notices of defunct entries, new entries and related information and suggestions. By this means I hope to utilize fully the best features of the Net and to make information available in a fashion that draws upon and promotes the unique strength of the virtual community. I hope to be able to provide a Wordperfect version of this low ascii file on a FTP server in the Fall of 1992. I am indeted to the countless individuals who have contributed to this project and helped create the first and only comprehensive Directory of Electronic Journals and Newsletters.

Bailey, Jr. University of Houston LIB3@UHUPVM1 >From NetMonth: The Independent Guide to BITNET 4, no. 5 (September 1990): 5-6. The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique eight-digit number that identifies a particular serial. For serials published in the U.S., ISSN numbers are assigned by the National Serials Data Program (NSDP) of the Library of Congress. Recently, NSDP assigned an ISSN to The Public-Access Computer Systems Review, an electronic journal that complements the Public-Access Computer Systems Forum (PACS-L@UHUPVM1). The PACS Forum is a moderated Bitnet list that deals with all computer systems that libraries make available to their users, and it currently has over 1,100 subscribers in 25 countries. The PACS Review, which is published two times a year, deals with the same subject matter as the PACS Forum. When an issue is published, PACS Forum users are notified by a table of contents message, which describes that issue's article files and provides instructions for retrieving the files. NSDP also created a bibliographic record for the PACS Review in the OCLC Online Union Catalog, a twenty-million-record database that is widely used by libraries for cataloging, interlibrary loan, reference, and other purposes. (A more powerful, user-friendly version of the OCLC Online Union Catalog called EPIC has just been made available for fee-based searching.) A bibliographic record describes a serial (or other work) in a standard machine-readable format according to established cataloging rules. It is noteworthy and commendable that NSDP took the initiative to assign the PACS Review an ISSN number and to catalog it; I never contacted them requesting that they do so. NSDP staff learned of the PACS Review as the result of two speeches I made about the publication at a recent national library conference. The assignment of an ISSN number and the creation of a bibliographic record on OCLC makes an electronic journal more accessible to libraries and their users. Electronic publishers are fortunate that NSDP has taken a progressive, proactive stand on electronic journals, and it is treating them seriously. I would urge other electronic publishers to contact NSDP and obtain ISSN numbers for their electronic journals. The appropriate application form is contained in a brochure called "ISSN is for Serials," which is available from NSDP.

Bailey, Jr. Network-based electronic serials are serials that are primarily "published" on computer networks like BITNET and Internet. Little has been written about these innovative publications; however, the first issue of volume two of The Public-Access Computer Systems Review provides a rare inside look at them in a "Special Section on Network-Based Electronic Serials." All of the authors in this special section have played an important role in fostering this new communication medium, and most are the editors and/or publishers of e-serials. The Public-Access Computer Systems Review is an electronic journal that is published by the University of Houston Libraries. You can retrieve an article by sending one of the commands listed after the article's description in an e-mail message to LISTSERV@UHUPVM1 (BITNET) or LISTSERV@UHUPVM1.UH.EDU (Internet). The first command retrieves the article as a file. The second command retrieves the article as an e-mail message. If you are not an experienced network user or you are not on BITNET, it is recommended that you retrieve articles as e-mail messages. ARTICLES IN THE SPECIAL SECTION ON NETWORK-BASED ELECTRONIC SERIALS In "The Electronic Journal: What, Whence, and When?," Ann Okerson surveys current and future e-journal publication activities. She discusses publishers' visions of e-journals, and she identifies four major groups of potential e-journal publishers: existing publishers, intermediary organizations (e.g., ISI and CARL), researchers and scholars, and universities. She concludes by forecasting how e-journals may evolve during the next 9 years. (GET OKERSON PRV2N1 or GET OKERSON PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "Online Journals: Disciplinary Designs for Electronic Scholarship," Teresa Harrison et al. examine and critique the e- journal concept, then describe the Electronic Journal of Communication/La Revue Electronique de Communication (EJC/REC). EJC/REC is a referred, bilingual journal dealing with communication. It is part of the innovate Comserve service, which provides communication scholars with a variety of electronic information services (e.g., directory information, journal indexes, access to over 1,000 files, and 20 computer conferences). (GET HARRISON PRV2N1 or GET HARRISON PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "Post-Gutenburg Galaxy: The Fourth Revolution in the Means of Production of Knowledge," Stevan Harnad discusses the three historical revolutions in knowledge production (speech, writing, and print) and the emerging fourth revolution--electronic "skywriting" on the Net. He examines the limitations of our print-based scholarly communication system, and describes how electronic communication can support scholarly skywriting, a process that allows scholars to get rapid feedback about promising ideas and theories from colleagues worldwide. He then describes Psycoloquy, a referred psychology e-journal that embodies the scholarly skywriting process. (GET HARNAD PRV2N1 or GET HARNAD PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "The Journal of the International Academy of Hospitality Research," Lon Savage describes a referred e-journal for researchers in hotel, restaurant, and institutional management and tourism. JIAHR is sponsored by the International Academy of Hospitality Research and published by Virginia Tech's Scholarly Communications Project. JIAHR issues are composed of single articles, and a related computer conference complements the journal. Savage discusses how individual subscribers and libraries have dealt with receiving an e-journal. JIAHR is an interesting example of how the Net can be used to publish a fee-based journal for a small, specialized audience. (GET SAVAGE PRV2N1 or GET SAVAGE PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "Postmodern Culture: Publishing in the Electronic Medium," Eyal Amiran and John Unsworth describe the refereed journal Postmodern Culture, which deals with contemporary literature, theory, and culture. Postmodern Culture is free on the Net, and a subscription fee is charged for disk or microfiche versions of the journal. A computer conference, PMC-Talk, complements the journal. The authors also discuss the future of e-journals. (GET AMIRAN PRV2N1 or GET AMIRAN PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "New Horizons in Adult Education: The First Five Years (1987- 1991)," Jane Hugo and Linda Newell describe the evolution of one of the first (if not the first) refereed e-journals on the Net. This unique adult education journal is edited by graduate students. (GET HUGO PRV2N1 or GET HUGO PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "EJournal: An Account of the First Two Years," Edward Jennings provides a personal look at his efforts to establish and publish a refereed e-journal on electronic networks and texts. This behind-the-scenes narrative reveals some of the trials and tribulations that may face the prospective e-journal publisher. (GET JENNINGS PRV2N1 or GET JENNINGS PRV2N1 F=MAIL) In "The Newsletter on Serials Pricing Issues," Marcia Tuttle describes the evolution and publishing practices of this e- newsletter, which deals with serials concerns. In addition to BITNET and Internet, the newsletter is also published on ALANET, DataLinx, and EBSCONET. She also discusses a variety of electronic publishing issues. (GET TUTTLE PRV2N1 or GET TUTTLE PRV2N1 F=MAIL) ANOTHER ARTICLE OF INTEREST FROM THE SAME ISSUE In "How to Start and Manage a BITNET LISTSERV Discussion Group: A Beginner's Guide," Diane Kovacs et al. discuss the steps to set up and run a computer conference using the Revised LISTSERV software. LISTSERV is a very widely used software package that supports both computer conferences and e-serial publication on BITNET (many existing e-serials are distributed with this software). It runs on IBM mainframes under the VM/CMS operating system. (GET KOVACS PRV2N1 or GET KOVACS PRV2N1 F=MAIL) Copyright (C) 1992 by Charles W. Bailey, Jr. All Rights Reserved.

The Dargon Project centers around a medieval-style duchy called Dargon in the far reaches of the Kingdom of Baranur on the world named Makdiar, and as such contains stories with a fantasy fiction/sword and sorcery flavor. At this time, DargonZine has no plans to publish anything other than Dargon Project stories, but there are several other magazines out there to satisfy this need. To Subscribe: Subscribers to DargonZine will have each new issue sent to their userid as it comes out. A subscription may be obtained by sending a request via MAIL to the editor, Dafydd, at the userid WHITE@DUVM.Bitnet. This request should contain your full userid (logonid and node, or a valid Internet address) as well as your full name and the file transfer format you prefer (either DISK DUMP, PUNCH/MAIL, or SENDFILE/NETDATA (non-Bitnet subscribers only have one option - Mail)). After that, you will receive all issues as they are sent out. Submissions: As mentioned above, the Dargon Project is a shared-world 'anthology', and as such it requires a great deal of commitment from its writers. Readers wishing to write for the Project should contact the editor for more detailed instructions about the background of the Project as well as plotlines currently in development. Of course, the first requirement for joining the project is to read all of the Project's output to date to get to know the characters and world being written about. Back issues of FSFNet, the Project's first home, are available from the Listserv@TCSVM (and FTPable from vm.tcs.tulane.edu (in numbers, 129.81.128.1)). See above for back issue information about DargonZine. Back Issues: Back issues have been moved to the FTPable archive machine eklektik.cs.pitt.edu (130.49.2.135). They are stored there in compressed format under the directory rpg/fiction/dargon in the form of dzv.n, where v=volume and n=number. They should be retrieved in binary format and must be uncompressed via the standard unix uncompress command. NOTE: it is possible for BitNet users without a direct internet connection to do FTP - try sending a 'help' to BitFTP or send me mail asking how to use it.

There is no subscription list but if one is a member of either HUMANIST@BROWNMVM or IOUDAIOS@YORKVM1 then it will be sent to you as it is issued to these lists. Back Issues: Available from the HUMANIST filelist which can be obtained by issuing the command: TELL LISTSERV@BROWNVM GET HUMANIST FILELIST You may obtain a copy by issuing the command -- GET filename filetype HUMANIST -- either interactively or as a batch-job, addressed to ListServ@Brownvm. Thus on a VM/CMS system, you say interactively: TELL LISTSERV AT BROWNVM GET filename filetype HUMANIST; if you are not on a VM/CMS system, send mail to ListServ@Brownvm with the GET command as the first and only line.

In the information age, school can come to us. This is the message implicit in the media and movement of distance education. The issues that the Journal is concerned with fall into four basic content areas: The Journal is interested in distance education as the organized method of reaching geographically disadvantaged learners, whether K-12, post secondary, or general enrichment students. The Journal recognizes that education encompasses a broad area of experience and that distance education includes distance communications that fall outside the domain of formal learning. The Journal welcomes contributions that deal with serving people at a distance who aren't necessarily associated with a learning institution. Once the distance education infrastructure is solidly in place, local learners will want to tap into it, because they simply prefer learning in a decentralized setting or because they want to expand their learning opportunities and resources beyond those immediately available to them. This phenomenon, which we call 'bringing distance education home,' will grow in the coming years and we look forward to hearing from people about telecommunications in education, as a tool or a content area. The Journal is interested in projects concerned with overcoming cultural barriers through the use of electronic communication. A Word About Approach: Electronic journals are different from their paper-based counterparts in two significant ways. The first is the uncompromising sequentiality of online media- readers can not skip past online articles that don't interest them the way they can in a conventional magazine. And second, generally anyone who writes for an online publication is on the same network as those who read it. Therefore, it is much easier for writers and readers to contact each other. These two aspects fit together nicely. I ask writers to contribute short (1-2 page) summary articles. Readers interested in specific articles can then ask writers directly for more detail. This approach cuts down on the network resources needed to distribute the Online Journal and allows for greater reader interactivity, while reducing the amount of unwanted information readers are forced to scroll through.

PSYCOLOQUY publishes brief reports of ideas and findings on which the author wishes to solicit rapid peer feedback, international and interdisciplinary ("Scholarly Skywriting"), in all areas of psychology and its related fields (biobehavioral, cognitive, neural, social, etc.). All contributions are refereed by members of PSYCOLOQUY's 60-member Editorial Board. Target articles should normally not exceed 500 lines in length, commentaries and responses should not exceed 200 lines. All target articles must have (1) a short abstract ( < 100 words), (2) an indexable title, (3) 6 - 8 indexable keywords, and the (4) author's full name and institutional address. The submission should be accompanied by (5) a rationale for soliciting commentary (e.g., why would commentary be useful and of interest to the field? what kind of commentary do you expect to elicit?) and (6) a list of potential commentators (with their email addresses). Commentaries must have indexable titles and the commentator's full name and institutional address (abstract is optional). Authors of accepted manuscripts assign to PSYCOLOQUY the right to distribute the text electronically and to archive and make it permanently retrievable electronically. However, they retain the copyright, and after it has appeared in PSYCOLOQUY authors may republish their text any way they wish -- electronic or print -- as long as they clearly acknowledge PSYCOLOQUY as its original locus of publication. Except in very special cases, agreed upon in advance, articles that have already been published or are about to be published elsewhere are not eligible to be considered for publication in PSYCOLOQUY. To Subscribe: To subscribe to PSYCOLOQUY send a message to either: listserv@pucc.bitnet or listserv@pucc.princeton.edu containing the following one-line message (without a message header or topic, i.e. leave "Subject" line blank): sub psyc Firstname Lastname (substituting your first and last name, of course). After you are notified that you are on the list, subsequent postings to the list should be sent to: psyc@pucc.bitnet or psyc@pucc.princeton.edu or psyc@phoenix.princeton.edu which will redirect them to the list's editors, who will post them for you if they are judged appropriate. The PSYCOLOQUY list can be retrieved by sending to listserv@pucc.bitnet the command rev psyc If you do not want your email address to be retrievable that way, send to listserv@pucc.bitnet the command: set psyc conceal (This command will only work after you are already signed on.) The archive of PSYCOLOQUY back-issues is currently retrievable both by anonymous ftp on the Internet and by the standard listserv file retrieval commands on Bitnet: (1) Bitnet/Listserv Retrieval of PSYCOLOQUY Archive: Bitnet users can either send the commands shown below as a TELL message to Listserv (TELL LISTSERV AT PUCC) or as email to LISTSERV@PUCC.bitnet. If you use email, your commands should appear in the body of the message and not in the subject line. Remember to send your mail requests to LISTSERV@PUCC.bitnet, not to PSYC@PUCC.bitnet To get a list of all PSYC files: GET PSYC FILELIST This will send you a file containing the names of all the available files. Issuing the command INDEX PSYC will produce the same results. The file sent by this command is not the same as the PSYC INDEX file, so it might be less confusing to use the GET command rather than the INDEX command. Then, to order an individual file: GET fname ftype fname and ftype are the CMS Filename and Filetype as listed in the PSYC FILELIST file. Listserv does limit the amount of data that a user can order in a single day. Currently the limit is 3 Meg, so this will not affect PSYC users. (2) Internet/Unix/ftp Retrieval of PSYCOLOQUY Archive The PSYCOLOQUY archives are temporarily available by anonymous ftp, if you have it. To retrieve a file by ftp from a Unix/Internet site, type either: ftp princeton.edu or ftp 128.112.128.1 When you are asked for your login, type: anonymous For your password, type: your-own-login-name@your-system-name then change directories with: cd pub/harnad To list the available files, type: ls The archive files look like this: psyc.arch... Next, retrieve the file you want with (for example): get psyc.arch.1.9 When you have the file(s) you want, type: quit JANET users can use the Internet file transfer utility at JANET node UK.AC.FT-RELAY to get BBS files. Use standard file transfer, setting the site to be UK.AC.FT-RELAY, the userid as anonymous@edu.princeton, the password as your own userid, and the remote filename to be the filename according to Unix conventions (i.e. something like pub/harnad/psyc.arch.1.9). Lower case should be used where indicated, using quotes if necessary to avoid automatic translation into upper case. ------------------------ The above cannot be done form Bitnet directly, but there is a fileserver called bitftp@pucc.bitnet that will do it for you. Send it the one line message help for instructions (which will be similar to the above, but will be in the form of a series of lines in an email message that bitftp will then execute for you). ------------------------- PSYCOLOQUY can also be accessed on Usenet as the moderated newsgroup sci.psychology.digest but then you will regularly have to check Usenet for new issues, because they are not automatically emailed to you as they are in the Bitnet version.

Also, if you request it, I will put you on the "FTP" list which means you will get a notice when a new issue comes out, directing you how to pick it up from one of the servers. This is to save wear and tear on mailer machines and to generally spread the load of distribution over a wider area. Back Issues: There are three FTP archives for Quanta issues and back issues: Host: IP#: Directory: ______________________________________________________________________ export.acs.cmu.edu (128.2.35.66) /pub/quanta eff.org (192.88.144.3) /journals/Quanta lth.se* (130.235.16.3) /documents/Quanta European service only In all cases, use login name of "anonymous" and send your mailing address as the password.

Submissions: Quanta needs stories. What's in it for you, you ask? True, Quanta can't pay you for your submissions (yet), but getting fiction into Quanta means distribution and recognition. Quanta also publishes reviews, articles and editorials. Submitting material to Quanta is as easy as sending it to quanta+@andrew.cmu.edu. If your submission is already in LaTeX format, send it in that format (RTF is also acceptable). Otherwise, send in straight ASCII text.

Goal: To provide a comprehensive network distributed source of information on Religious Studies publications, pedagogical and research resources and software tools. Overview: The Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS, subtitled the CONTENTS Project, is a networked electronic journal that brings together academic publishers and online scholars in Religious Studies and related fields. This journal provides an information service to academic publishers and the more than one thousand scholars in Religious Studies and related fields who are online with BITNET, Internet, and other international computer networks. CONTENTS' primary function is the posting of table of contents, standard bibliographic, pricing and ordering information, abstracts and reviews of new books and journal issues of relevance to academics in the broad field of Religious Studies. This electronic journal also publishes software reviews of programs essential to computer assisted research. CONTENTS extends the scope of electronic publication by combining reviews and abstracts with table of contents and ordering information of new books and journals in print. Publishers are encouraged to provide an electronic mail contact address so as to enable CONTENTS' subscribers to order texts via the network. This electronic journal is designed in anticipation of the developing commercialization of the academic networks and anticipates the growing trend within publishing houses of accommodating individual chapter and single article purchases. The CONTENTS Project operates by obtaining permission from participating publishers to scan the table of contents from new and recent books and journals and disseminates this information in electronic text to its subscribers. To the table of contents is added information on the publisher, number of pages, price, abstracts and, if available, online ordering contact. Publishers also are encourage to submit abstracts, book notes and reviews for electronic republication. CONTENTS will also disseminate and archive information on works in progress, conference announcements, solicitations for manuscripts, complete dissertations, bibliographies, networked documents and audio-visual resources of relevance to Religious Studies. All publication records posted by the CONTENTS Project are archived via LISTSERV at Listserv@Uottawa or Listserv@Acadvm1.Uottawa.Ca and may be searched or downloaded by the network community. Eventually, all CONTENTS records will be fully searchable as an online public access database via TELNET. A supplement to CONTENTS, Lists in Review, provides an overview of many of the Listserv lists (online academic conferences) of relevance to Religious Studies. A team of editors surveys individual lists and records lists of subject keywords that will serve to indicate what has been discussed on any given online conference. These list summaries are compiled by the supplement editor and posted as a short file to CONTENTS and archived on a fileserver. This collection will allow networked researchers to quickly survey what has been discussed on dozens of lists and then retrieve past conversations from a list's logbook. The list will not be conversational. Frequency of postings will depend on the number of cooperating publishers. At present, the Religious Studies Publications Journal - CONTENTS, has over five hundred subscribers in more than twenty four countries.

The journal is typeset using TeX so that mathematical notation may be sent as an ASCII file and downloaded as typeset notation by the receiver (at receiver cost). This procedure enables users to have high-quality typeset copy using a program acceptable to conventional publishers should they wish; hard copy is available from the Institute of Mathematical Geography (currently at a cost of $15.95 U.S. (soft cover) per year plus shipping). This is a cheap way, in terms of fiscal and environmental costs, to create, typeset, and distribute a journal. Solstice is copyrighted; typically, it includes original, refereed articles as well as other material such as reprints and various features.

Ask, in either case, to have your bitnet or internet address added to the distribution list for Solstice and a free subscription will be entered beginning with the next issue. Requests for hard copy should also be sent to the same address. Hard copy is produced as needed directly from the transmitted electronic file, with photos and difficult-to-transmit figures scanned into the hard copy on a scanning digital copying machine. Hard copy may be purchased in a soft-binding or in a hard-binding. Submissions: The purpose of Solstice is to promote interaction between geography and mathematics. Articles in which elements of one discipline are used to shed light on the other are particularly sought. Also welcome, are original contributions that are purely geographical or purely mathematical. All original articles are refereed. Invited articles and reprints are screened by suitable members of the Editorial Board. IMaGe is open to having authors suggest, and furnish material for, new regular features. Authors should submit manuscripts to the Editor-in-Chief. Manuscripts may be submitted as an ASCII file, via bitnet or internet, or on a 5.25 inch high density diskette. They may also be submitted as hard copy (in triplicate). Upon final acceptance, figures in refereed papers must be drawn in Indian ink on high-quality paper (or in some other acceptable manner negotiated on an individual basis). There are no page charges; authors will be given permission to make reprints from the electronic file. The suggested format for referencing an article is to cite the hard copy with page numbers in the customary manner AND to cite the electronic copy as transmitted, complete with facts of the transmission as they appear on the received header, as to date and time of transmission. Cite field character count (to replace pagination) of the article in accordance with specific instructions from IMaGe. Back Issues: Back issues are available in hard copy from IMaGe---within the Monograph Series of the Institute of Mathematical Geography; because they are produced in an on-demand fashion, they do not go out of print. Warehousing is not a significant issue in this mode of journal production. Current prices are $15.95 for soft binding and $23.95 for hard binding. Shipping and handling charges will be added. Back electronic files can be made available, but at a cost; individual requests will be negotiated separately. Contact: Dr. Sandra L.

COSMIC's COSLINE: About COSLINE COSLINE is a 24 hour electronic information service to COSMIC's customers. You can access COSLINE via telnet to cosline.cosmic.uga.edu or by setting your modem to (1200/2400, 8,N, 1) and dialing either (404) 542-7354 or (404) 542-7355. Although several terminal types are supported, you are encouraged to use the DEC VT-100 driver which is provided by default. Questions on using COSLINE or suggestions for improvement may be directed to us in various ways: COSLINE use the "Comments to SYSOP" option under the "Utilities" selection on the main menu EMAIL send an email message to us at service@cossack.cosmic.uga.edu VOICE call us at (404) 542-3265 and ask for COSLINE Support FAX send it to COSLINE Support at (404) 542-4807 U.S. MAIL COSLINE Support COSMIC The University of Georgia 382 East Broad Street Athens, GA 30602 Using COSLINE Connect to COSLINE using either the telnet or dialup method as described above. When you have become connected you will be prompted for your name and a password. If you have not previously used COSLINE, you may simply press your ENTER key to proceed to the next prompt which allows you to identify the type of terminal you are using. COSLINE is a full screen application and although the use of special keys is kept to a minimum, we do require that your terminal or emulator understand a minimal number of screen control escape sequences for the terminal type you select. Experience suggests that the DEC VT100 driver (vt100) so we have made that the default. The main COSLINE menu is oriented horizontally and the user may highlight a particular selection using the left and right cursor keys. Certain main menu options entail submenus and the user may select from these vertical submenus by using the up and down cursor keys. Once the desired selection has been highlighted, simply press the key marked ENTER or RETURN and located near the alphabetic character keys. Beyond the catalog Search option most of the screens are informational in nature and are therefore implemented as text file browsers. Browsing is facilitated by the use of the (F)orward and (B)ack alphabetic keys. To return to the menu you may always select (Q)uit. Certain browsers also allow you to (L)ocate a particular string and a number may allow you to (S)ave to buffer. By default, new users are provided with a "buffer" of approximately ten thousand characters. The COSLINE user may elect to write certain pieces of information into this buffer during his current session. The DOWNLOAD option on the main menu provides the user with two ways of placing the contents of this file on his/her local machine or printer. One may elect to send the file to oneself as email or to collect it as a straight ASCII text stream. The email option prompts for an address and then sends the text almost immediately. No checking is done on the address provided by the user and we assume that your host is reachable by the internet. The text stream option was designed primarily for dialup users whose communications package supports a text capture or log file feature wherein any text sent to the screen is also placed in a file. Any requisite flow control is assumed to be provided by the communications link and is not moderated by COSLINE itself. Catalog Search The principle feature of COSLINE is the catalog Search facility. There is a separate help file available for browsing from the Search main menu option. Please feel free to experiment to isolate particular program of interest to you. Program information is savable to your buffer and downloadable as described above. Disconnecting from COSLINE Please be certain to disconnect using the Exit option from the main menu. This allows house cleaning to be executed in an orderly manner and also returns control to the communications program on your end. Contact: Pat Mortenson COSMIC The University of Georgia 382 E.

In that spirit, we print all questions pertaining to use of the Hebrew alphabet on computers and answer all those that we can. We encourage discussion on all levels of computer facility--from new users considering looking for software or Hebrew-related resources (educational, graphic, or otherwise), to developer discussions on how the software should work (when it works :-)).

The Free Software Foundation is dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying, redistribution, understanding, and modification of computer programs. We do this by promoting the development and use of free software in all areas of computer use. Specifically, we are putting together a complete integrated software system named "GNU" (GNU's Not Unix) that will be upwardly compatible with Unix. Some large parts of this system are already working, and we are distributing them now. The word "free" in our name refers to two specific freedoms: first, the freedom to copy a program and give it away to your friends and co-workers; second, the freedom to change a program as you wish, by having full access to source code. Furthermore, you can study the source and learn how such programs are written. You may then be able to port it, improve it, and share your changes with others. Other organizations distribute whatever free software happens to be available. By contrast, FSF concentrates on development of new free software, working towards a GNU system complete enough to eliminate the need to purchase a proprietary system. Besides developing GNU, the Foundation has secondary functions: producing tapes and printed manuals of GNU software, carrying out distribution, and accepting gifts to support GNU development. We are tax exempt; you can deduct donations to us on your tax returns. Our development effort is funded partly from donations and partly from distribution fees. Note that the distribution fees purchase just the service of distribution: you never have to pay anyone license fees to use GNU software, and you always have the freedom to make your copy from a friend's computer at no charge (provided your friend is willing). To Subscribe: For a paper GNUs Bulletin, send a self-addressed stamped envelope (US Postage only) to: Free Software Foundation 675 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 1-617-876-3296 gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu Including a small donation in U.S. funds would be appreciated. We do not maintain a subscription list for the Bulletin. It's too much overhead. Instead, read it in the gnUSENET newsgroup gnu.announce. If you don't have access to USENET news, then subscribe to the electronic mailing list info-gnu (which is equivalent). (Make your request of info-gnu-request@prep.ai.mit.edu).

The Newsletter (1) provides information on care and breeding of nonhuman primates for laboratory research, (2) disseminates general information and news about the world of primate research (such as announcements of meetings, research projects, sources of information, nomenclature changes), (3) helps meet the special research needs of individual investigators by publishing requests for research material or for information related to specific research problems, and (4) serves the cause of conservation of nonhuman primates by publishing information on that topic. As a rule, research articles or summaries accepted for the Newsletter have some practical implications or provide general information likely to be of interest to investigators in a variety of areas of primate research. However, special consideration will be given to articles containing data on primates not conveniently publishable elsewhere. General descriptions of current research projects on primates will also be welcome. ISSN: 0023-6861 To Subscribe: The Newsletter appears quarterly and is intended primarily for persons doing research with nonhuman primates. Students should ask their department or library to subscribe to the paper version. Back issues may be purchased for $2.00 each. Subscribers outside the United States are asked to pay US$6.00 per year mailing charges (US$12 for air mail). (Please make checks payable to Brown University.)

Reprints will not be supplied under any circumstances. Articles, notes, and announcements should be submitted in duplicate and all copy should be double spaced. Articles in the References section should be referred to in the text by author(s) and date of publication, as for example: Smith (1960) or (Smith and Jones, 1962).

Reviews are commissioned by the editor; they are published within a week of receipt. However, the Review is organized into 12 monthly issues for each annual volume. The first issue was March, 1991. We try to review books within six months of their publication (although we are still catching up from the backlog of unreviewed books existing when we began operation). Length of reviews varies from 750 to 2500 words. ISSN: 1062-7421 To Subscribe: (NB - you must subscribe to the list, PSRT-L to receive the Review.) Send the following to LISTSERV@UMCVMB: SUBSCRIBE PSRT-L your name Submissions: None; all reviews are commissioned. Related List: PSRT-L is a moderated discussion list on Bitnet which deals with issues of interest to professional political scientists, both researchers and teachers. Submissions from all sub-fields of political science as well as related disciplines are encouraged. The list is not intended to serve as a public forum for debate over current issues in politics, as other lists already fill that niche. Rather it is intended to provide an opportunity for political scientists to present their ideas and ongoing research for discussion, to consider the directions in which the discipline is advancing, and to encourage the dissemination of new concepts in research and teaching. In addition to ongoing discussions, the list editors would like to post announcements of job openings and upcoming conferences. PSRT-L also publishes The Law and Politics Book Review.

The cataract of information available to those with network access make all but the most cursory examinations of lists possible. Akin to book and restaurant reviews, each issue begins with a narrative description of usually one week's worth of monitoring, then presents simple statistical data such as the number of messages and lines, number of queries and non-queries, number of subscribers and countries represented, list owner, location, and how to subscribe. The editor sees the publication as a means to cross-fertilize user perceptions of network resources (i.e., active proselytization for cyberspace). The service attempts to explore as wide a range of lists as possible, from the hard sciences to the fuzziest of the humanities. ISSN: 1060-8192 Posted bi-weekly on LIBREF-L.

We prefer the texts to be made available in pure ASCII formats so they would be most easily converted to use in various hardware and software. A file of this nature will also be made available in various markup formats as it is used in various environments. However we accept files in ANY format, and will do our best to provide them in all. We assist in the selection of hardware and software as well as in their installation and use. We also assist in scanning, spelling checkers, proofreading, etc. Our goal is to provide a collection of 10,000 of the most used books by the year 2001, and to reduce, and we do mean reduce, the effective costs to the user to a price of approximately one cent per book, plus the cost of media and of shipping and handling. Thus we hope the entire cost of libraries of this nature will be about $100 plus the price of the disks and CDROMS and mailing. Currently the price of making CDROMS is said to be about $500 for mastering and then $5 per copy. I have it on fairly good authority that these prices are negotiable, and as actual cost, the price per CDROM is about $1.80. Therefore, we call on all interested parties to get involved with the creation and distribution of electronic texts, whether it's a commitment to typing, scanning, proofreading, collecting, or what ever your pleasure might be. Please do not hesitate to send any e-texts you might find to this address. If you prefer sending disks, a mailing address follows. We hope to be thanking you soon for your participation.

If Internet access is not available, e-mail can be sent to me at MURPH@MAINE.BITNET and I will e-mail back issues. Submissions: If you are interested in reviewing either audio hardware or software, feel free to discuss the details of reviews with the editor. It would be best to query the editor to make sure that the item you wish to review is acceptable. Reviewers are encouraged to cover any and all types of music. Completed reviews should be sent to the editor MURPH@MAINE.BITNET. I would like to keep hardware reviews to a minimum, perhaps one or two reviews per issue, as I would like to focus on audio software and especially Compact Discs. Album/CD Review Guidelines: What I look for in a review is writing that shows that you have not only heard the album, Compact Disc or cassette which you are reviewing, but that you have also listened to it. The manufacturing of CDs has caught up enough so that I'd like to feature new releases.Or, in the case of a title which is finally being released on CD, new reissues. Heck, I guess there are a number of LPs that might be worthy of mention if they are being reissued as well. Unfortunately, the LP is becoming scarce in the world of hi-tech digital wizardry. I would also prefer that cassettes be reviewed only when a cassette is the only medium that the title has been released on. Here's what I'd like as a general format for reviews. All of the information concerning the Disc or LP should be able to be found on the album where all credits are given. The performance and sound quality scales are your opinions. Title Artist Producer(s) Engineer(s) Label/Catalog # Playing Time Song Titles Rating (between 1 and 5 stars ) optional What format was reviewed (CD, LP, Cassette) Release date SPARS code (For CDs - will explain below) ---------- And review text, of course... The SPARS code represents a standard proposed by the Society of Professional Audio Recording Studios (SPARS). Many CDs have this three letter code printed somewhere on their information booklets. The three letters correspond to the type of recorder used for recording, mixing and mastering of the disc (analog or digital). For example, a disc with the code "ADD" would show that the disc was an analog recording, mixed and mastered digitally. Contact: Michael A.

PCP is a computer-supported collaborative attempt to develop an integrated evolutionary-systemic philosophy or world view. Its contributors are distributed over several continents and they keep contact mainly by electronic mail (mailing list PRNCYB-L), also by annual meetings, the printed (and electronic) Newsletter, and postal mail. PCP focuses on the clear formulation of basic concepts and principles of the cybernetic approach. This should lead to a semantic network of concepts and links, implemented as a hypertext. The PCP philosophy starts from the self-organization of multi-level systems through blind variation and natural selection. This leads to a process metaphysics, a constructive-selectionist epistemology, and an evolutionary ethics.

After the connection is made, you will be prompted: USERID: Math1 (or Math2, 3, 4 or 5); PASSWORD: Math1 (or Math2, 3, 4 or 5); OPERATOR ID: Math1 (or Math2, 3, 4 or 5) You can obtain TN3270 via ftp, if not already available in your institution. More detailed instructions are available from the email address given above. For the SUN3 or SUN4, ftp noc.net.yale.edu, directory pub/sunn4-binary (or cd pub/sun3-binary), filename tn3270.tar.z. For the Macintosh, send an email message to listerv@brownvm with the message "get tn3270 package" or ftp brownvm.brown.edu, filenames tn3270.read-me and tn3d7.sithqx. For Ultrix, ftp uunet.uu.net, filename bds-sources/src/ucb/tn3270.tar.z. Submissions: Abstracts must be submitted according to certain conventions so that all records in the IMP database are consistent. Do not submit abstracts for preprints until the preprint is available on your institution's "ftp"able computer and instructions for downloading the preprint are included in a README file on that computer. The conventions for submissions of abstracts and loading of preprints, the formats to be used, and a description of each field in the record for the abstract are available from the email contact address below. Each abstract must be sent in a separate electronic email message in the required format.
