Re: Listserve for hearing impaired

Yes, you can subscribe to DEAF-L as a mailing list [by writing  To:
LISTSERV%SIUCVMB.bitnet@VM42.CSO.UIUC.EDU], also, below is a
brief summary on how to do that.
I am also forwarding ( to you privately) more info on Deaf-L.
Deaf-L is probably the most widely read LISTSERV group on deafness.
There are other smaller groups, some on Fidonet (if that is more
accessible to you) and others that can be sent to you directly as a
mailing list.  I can try to gather that information if you would like it.
Just let me know.

I am not sure what you are looking for in regards to a teacher at a
school - Roselle and I are at residential schools, I know of one or two
other librarians at residential schools for the deaf who are on-line and I
know of various teachers at various types of schools and programs for the
deaf who are on-line and would be glad to help you make some contacts if
you are interested.

 - You would like to know how to join the DEAF-L Mailing list discussion,
 its a easy simple to learn and to use the automated internet commands
 and pick up the feeds from LISTSERV to your own mailing list like a
 private mail box. At first, you need to tell the LISTSERV that you
 wish to subscribe the DEAF-L Mailing list. The following hints:
