Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Keywords for Subject Headings

[kaTe <cag02@COX.NET>]

oh, and I forgot to mention that these 3 were the most important ones to me so I 
can wade through messages faster.

ELEM:       postings for kindergarten to 5th grade topics
MIDDLE:   postings for middle school topics
SEC:         postings for secondary grades (9 to 12) 

it helps us all see what level you are looking for answers for.

thanks again,

kate :)

I have been a little behind on my listserv reading and I think it would be helpful 
to remind people to try and use Keywords for Subject Headings whenever possible.  
It helps me get through the hundreds of postings.  :)

from the LM_NET FAQ 2  (Frequently Asked Questions) 

Those posting to LM_NET are asked to help the LM_NET community by using clear, 
concise subject headings indicating the content of the message.  Prefacing the 
detailed subject with one of our accepted keywords saves time and energy of all 
those who read the list. Subject headings greatly aid searching the archives, also. 
Currently recommended keyword headings are: 

   TARGET:      request for information to be compiled for a HIT: 
   HIT:         the compiled information from the TARGET request 
   GREET:       for requests for greetings 
   TECH:        for PC & MAC software & hardware discussions 
  REF:         requests for all types of reference questions 
  JOBS:        postings of job vacancies 
   ELEM:        postings for kindergarten to 5th grade topics 
  MIDDLE:      postings for middle school topics 
   SEC:         postings for secondary grades (9 to 12) 
   GEN:         anything that doesn't fit the other categories 
   HUMOR:       anything humorous or not to be taken too seriously :-) 

When in doubt about which to choose pick GEN: 

A Subject header might look like these: 
       Subject: GEN: Special movie on PBS tonight 
       Subject: REF,SEC: Info on World War II 
       HIT: Accelerated Reading vs Reading Counts 

Comments: The TOPIC KEYWORD or KEYWORDS must be followed by a COLON and a BLANK 
SPACE before the regular description. 


thanks,

kate :)
