             Instructions for posting a job
              (internship, workshop, etc)
                 to the Conservation DistList

     1.  Only jobs *directly* involving the conservation/preservation
	 of museum, library, or archive materials will be accepted.
	 While many other jobs (curatorships, directorships, heads of
	 library technical service departments, archival positions,
	 etc. do, obviously, involve some element of preservation, we
	 can only accept postings for those that are primarily
	 preservation/conservation jobs, otherwise we'd be swamped.
	 There are other list more suitable for any of these
	 non-preservation jobs (ExLibris, Archives, Museum-L, etc.)

     2.  Postings of job announcements, internships, and workshops
	 will be accepted from anyone, not just registered DistList
	 participants.

     3.  Postings *must* be signed (i.e. have a human name associated
	 with the message. If they don't they will not be accepted,
	 under any circumstances.

     4.  Postings must be sent as plain text, not file attachments.
         That is, all postings must be straight USASCII only, and must
         be sent by ordinary email. Please do NOT send file
         "enclosures", attachments, word-processing files, etc. HTML
         mail and encoded text (binhexed, mimencoded, uuencoded, xml,
         microsoft-xml, etc) are also not acceptable.  No exceptions
         will be made.

     5.  The language of the DistList is English.
	 Please write in complete sentences using something at least
	 vaguely related to conventional English grammar. Please
	 spell-check your document. Please use conventional
	 punctuation.

     6.  Send postings to consdist&#x40;lindy&#46;stanford.edu

	 Please note that you *MUST* send postings to the above
	 address; if you send them to any other address you risk not
	 having your item posted at all.

	 Please send DistList items directly To:
	 consdist&#x40;lindy&#46;stanford.edu That is, do make the address the
	 primary recipient *not* a Cc:  or Bcc:  Do not include
	 consdist&#x40;lindy&#46;stanford.edu in a mailing list that includes
	 other recipients. Doing so may lead to your posting being
	 rejected unread.

     7.  Please keep your posting as brief as possible, preferably
	 under 50 lines (68 chars wide). Remove any non-essential
	 information, such as descriptions of your region, history of
	 your institution, etc., unless they are of *direct*
	 significance to the job.  Do not include a Job Application
	 Form or lengthy listings of government regulations pertaining
	 to the job but *do* include information (especially URLs)
	 indicating where such information can be obtained. Please
         remove anything that might be construed as advertising.

     8.  Repeat postings are not accepted. You may not send "reminder"
	 messages, or messages that substantially repeat what you've
	 already said about a job or event, no matter how long. If
	 substantially new information must be sent, (e.g. an extention
	 of the posting deadline, a significant change in the job
	 description, or a *significant* error in the original), then
	 you may post a *very* brief (10 lines or less) notice,
	 providing the new information and referencing the original
	 message.

     9.  Your text is subject to editing for length, style, content,
         and you will not be notified of such changes prior to posting.


     10. All DistList postings, including Job announcements, will be
	 made available online for the indefinite future, in the
	 DistList Archives in Conservation OnLine. Your posting will
	 *not* be removed after the job-posting period is over.

     11. In an effort to prevent our resources being used as a source
	 of targets by spammers and viruses.  spammers and viruses, to
	 the best of our ability all email addresses in the DistList,
	 ConsDir, and most areas of Conservation OnLine are in some way
	 disguised or obfuscated.  The nature of the alteration is
	 subject to change at any time.

     12. There is no charge for posting to the DistList 


     13. If you post an item that is time critical (e.g. a job posting
	 with a deadline), you *must* get it to
	 consdist&#x40;lindy&#46;stanford.edu with adequate lead time.  If you
	 have an job or other announcement with a deadline, you must
	 submit it at least *three weeks* in advance; items received
	 after that cutoff will be rejected without notice.  In
	 addition the words TIME SENSITIVE in uppercase letters *MUST*
	 be the first two words in *both*

          (a) The Subject: line and
           (b) The body of your message

	 This enables my software to pick out your message and call it
	 to my attention.


	 As mailings often get backlogged for reasons beyond my
	 control, I cannot promise posting in time to meet your
	 deadline.  There is only one person working on this, part
	 time, and with the large number of messages being posted
	 backlogs frequently develop
