GEN: Reminder - EL-ANNOUNCE

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

This is a reminder about the LM_NET sponsored listserv for messages and
announcements by vendors and organizations.  This listserv was started to
help ease the pressure for commercial messages on LM_NET and other
listservs. It is also a way to help support the operation of LM_NET.

If you are interested in receiving a limited number of messages about
products and services, check out EL-ANNOUNCE.

EL-ANNOUNCE, the "announcements" listserv allows vendors and organizations
to send you notices and promotional materials if you want to receive them.
You can choose to receive these messages by subscribing to EL-ANNOUNCE
(Education and Library Announcements).

EL-ANNOUNCE is a moderated, _read-only_ list.  If you subscribe, you will
receive announcements of new products, services, or opportunties
specificially suited the the education and library fields. This is an
announcement list only--there will be no discussion, but you will be able
to reply directly to a specific vendor to obtain additional information.


=============================================================================

To subscribe to EL-ANNOUNCE, send an email message to:
        listserv@listserv.syr.edu

In the message area, write: subscribe EL-ANNOUNCE YourFirstName
YourLastName

That's all you need to do.  The "digest" function is also available if you
prefer to have your messages grouped.  You still get all messages, just
not one at a time.  If you want to try the DIGEST setting, after you are
subscribed, send another message to:
        listserv@listserv.syr.edu

The message should read:
set EL-ANNOUNCE digest

If you don't like the digests, you simply change your settings back by
sending another message to listserv@listserv.syr.edu
set EL-ANNOUNCE mail

==============================================================================

Finally, please note that:

(1) Traffic will be limited to one message per participating vendor per
week.  The list is moderated to ensure compliance and to see that messages
are relevant to library and education interests.

(2)  Messages will be archived for 6 months on the AskERIC Virtual
Library. (URL will be available shortly).

(3)  Participating vendors and organizations are required to support the
administration of the listserv through a small annual contribution.

(4)  During this start-up period, traffic is likely to be very light.  We
anticipate that it will take a month or so to get things flowing. If
you don't receive many messages right away, don't worry.

Vendors who wish to obtain information on how to support EL-ANNOUNCE and
place their postings on the list should email to

Moderator, EL-ANNOUNCE <elann@cmc.net>


So, check out EL-ANNOUNCE if you get a chance.
