List servers

  • Lists are topical areas one subscribes to. Once subscribed, members are automatically sent E-mail copies of all communications sent to those lists. Generally, one subscribes by sending an E-mail message to the List Server containing the following information in the message area:
    subscribe LISTNAME your_first_name your_last_name

    You then will get further instructions that tell you how to post messages to the List Address, unsubscribe, find out who is on the list, and other capabilities.

    Some of the lists archive their discussions and place them in public directories.If this is done (and we know about it), the message archives can be examined without necessarily signing up as a member. This provides a means to look at the list's content and determine whether you are interested or not in becoming a member.If the list contents are archived the YES entry in the Archived? column will be highlighted below and you can click on it to see the archive.

    The table below summarizes the key information you need to contact each of these lists. Clicking on the List Name jumps to a description of that particular list. To subscribe you must send an E mail message to the List Server, as explained above. If your WEB browser supports "mail" and you have your E-mail address handy, you can sign up for any of these lists right now by clicking on its respective List Server in the table below.

    INJURY-L is a list for injury research,epidemiology and prevention maintained by the Center for Rural Emergency Medicine and the Injury Control Center of West Virginia University. Injury-L Listserv is a front end to Injury-L. The valuable Injury-L Archives can be found here as well. List manager: Paul M. (Mike) Furbee, Research Coordinator, Center for Rural Emergency Medicine, P.O. BOX 9151, Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center, Morgantown WV 26506, (304) 293-6682. E-mail address: furbee@wvu.edu.

    INTVIO-L is devoted to all aspects of family violence. It is maintained by the Family Violence Research Team at the University of Rhode Island. The INTVIO-L list serves as a networking system devoted to all aspects of family violence. While various other lists may explore the topics of child abuse or violence within the family, the intimate violence list is unique in that it serves a wide range of areas that constitute the definition of intimate violence. This list is designed to encompass all areas of interest regarding family violence rather than limiting discussion to one interest.

    EJINTVIO, the Electronic Journal of Intimate Violence, is published as a list. Topics include physical child abuse, sexual child abuse, child neglect, physical spouse abuse, sexual spouse abuse, psychological abuse, elder abuse, and dating violence, as well as other related topics subscribers may wish to explore. For more information contact Glenn Wolfner, Assistant Director of Family Violence Research Program at the University of Rhode Island. Send comments and questions to the editors (famviol@uri.acc.edu).

    EHS-INFO has been created to sponsor and support peer discussions among individuals researching, developing or implementing informatics-related initiatives for prehospital and hospital emergency health services systems or organizations. The list is called EHS-INFO (Emergency Health Informatics and Information Systems). Click HERE to examine the ehs-info archives. Contact: Ronald Benoit (ron@aemrc.arizona.edu)

    EMSNY-L is a forum for discussion of issues affecting EMS providers. Although the focus is on New York State issues, often the discussion is far broader. For instance, a recent thread discussed the need for CPR certification by EMT's. When appropriate, questions are answered by State EMS staff. The listserv includes a number of files of interest, including New York State laws and rules related to EMS. List manager: John D. Lewis. Internet address: jdl02%albnydh2.bitnet@uacsc2.albany.edu

    BIOMCH-Lis a list is intended for members of the International, European, American, Canadian and other Societies of Biomechanics, ISEK (International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology), and for all others with an interest in the general field of biomechanics and human or animal movement. For the scope of this list, see, e.g., the Journal of Biomechanics (Pergamon Press), the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering (ASME),or Human Movement Science (North-Holland). Biomch-L is operated under the Patronage of the International Society of Biomechanics.Technical help can be obtained by sending the command 'sendbiomch-l guide' to LISTSERV@HEARN or LISTSERV@NIC.SURFNET.NL, or by contacting one of the list owners.Contact: listserv@nic.surfnet.nl (Ton van den Bogert).

    SAFETY list discusses safety issues, with a bias towards educational institutions.

    Newsgroups

  • Newsgroups are less automated than mail lists and are generally (but not always) more public and read and contributed to by a more diverse audience. If a Newsgroup is established you generally have to look at the postings, but you don't have to sign up to view the messages. However, you may need newsreader software to take full advantage of Newsgroups and you must have access to a Usenet (NNTP) server. Some WWW browsers like NETSCAPE have newsreaders built in but you still need access to a Usenet server. There are thousands of Newsgroups. To automatically be sent copies of Newsgroup messages related to a particular topic, explore the powerful capabilities of Stanford's Netnews Information Filtering Tool (SIFT). SIFT enables users without access to a Usenet server to get filtered newsnet postings. Here are some Newsgroups of interest:
  • Telnet Sites

  • Telnet connects you directly to a remote host computer using terminal emulation and allows you to run software on the host computer. Your browser must be configured to use a terminal emulation program.
    Alcoholism research database - Project CORK collection on alcoholism and substance abuse on the Dartmouth College Library Online System. Login: type SELECT FILE CORK.
  • E-mail addresses
