Sender: Rare Books and Special Collections Forum <EXLIBRIS@RUTVM1.BITNET>
To: ExLibris subscribers
Following is a reminder of ExLibris LISTSERV characteristics which will be sent
to all of you from time to time. It duplicates the signon message that one
gets upon initially subscribing.
The address of the group (for messages, *not* for subscribing or other
housekeeping -- see below) is either of:
EXLIBRIS@RUTVM1.BITNET
EXLIBRIS@RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU (capitalization is unimportant)
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF EXLIBRIS" command to
LISTSERV@RUTVM1. Please note that this command must NOT be sent to the list
address (EXLIBRIS@RUTVM1) but to the LISTSERV address (LISTSERV@RUTVM1). You
may also wish to use the "SET EXLIBRIS NOMAIL" command (again, sent to
LISTSERV@RUTVM1 and not to EXLIBRIS@RUTVM1) to temporarily suspend your
participation (e.g. for vacations or other absences) and the "SET
EXLIBRIS MAIL" to resume.
Those interested in subscribing should send the following message to
LISTSERV@RUTVM1:
SUBSCRIBE EXLIBRIS your_full_name
(Capitalization is unimportant. Be sure the message is contained in a single
line.)
EXLIBRIS is an unmoderated news and discussion group for the purpose of
discussing matters related to rare book and manuscript librarianship, including
special collections and related issues. Membership is open to anyone who wishes
to subscribe. The contents are archived as is usual for LISTSERV groups (see
below). The full membership list will be circulated from time to time unless
objections are heard.
Please be aware that your local system REPLY mechanism may or may not direct
your message to EXLIBRIS. It may only go to the email address attached to the
message you are replying to. In such a case (you'll be able to see) you should
MAIL to EXLIBRIS rather than REPLYing to the message. It is considered a
courtesy to include your name and institution at the top of your message for
identification (our email addresses are often a bit terse).
This notice will be circulated regularly for the reminder of old members and
the edification of new. Feel free to forward this message to those who might be
interested in joining the discussions. Please direct questions (but not
subscriptions) to the undersigned at graham@zodiac.rutgers.edu. Thank you and
enjoy yourselves.
This discussion group has been set up and is maintained through the good
offices of staff members of Rutgers University Computing Services at Rutgers --
The State University of New Jersey. Rutgers reserves the right to discontinue
or modify this service for any reason.
The amount of acknowledgement you wish to receive from this list upon
completion of a mailing operation can be changed by means of a "SET EXLIBRIS
option" command, where "option" may be either "ACK" (mail acknowledgement),
"MSGACK" (interactive messages only) or "NOACK".
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can obtain a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX EXLIBRIS" command to
LISTSERV@RUTVM1. These files can then be retrieved by means of a "GET EXLIBRIS
filetype" command, or using the database search facilities of LISTSERV. Send an
"INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.
Please note that it is presently possible for anybody to determine that you
are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW" command, which
returns the network address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not wish
your name to be available to others in this fashion, just issue a "SET EXLIBRIS
CONCEAL" command.
More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the "General
Introduction guide", which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO GENINTRO"
command to LISTSERV@RUTVM1.
