   Dirk asked about websites, newsgroups, or electronic discussion
lists that focus on library automation.   I am not aware of any
list that has such a focus.  Automation has become such an
integral part of our daily life in all areas of the library that
discussions of it are part of discussions of cataloging, Ill, etc.

   That being said, there are some lists that do have
a larger technical component than others, for example, there are
about 2 dozen vendor-specific lists, e.g. NOTIS-L, DYNIX-L.  Of the
non-vendor lists probably PACS-L (the Public Access Computer System
list) is the most general list with an emphasis on online catalogs.
It is PACS-L@UHUPVM1.UH.EDU  (send subscriptions to
LISTSERV@UHUPVM1.UH.EDU in the form: subscribe PACS-L Myfirstname Lastname
