Inquiry?

Are you looking at only professional librarians parent/child?  Or do
paraprofessionals and clerk count?

Another question, is that my mother-in-law worked her way from a
library volunteer to library assistant position.  Is the individual
interested in those relationships?

Just wondering.

Subject:      Microfiche

This is being cross-posted to SERIALST and MEDLIB-L, so please forgive the
duplication.

At Virginia Commonwealth University, we are preparing to tape load cataloging
records for some of our microfiche sets, and are trying to develop a game
plan.  Currently, our fiche is simply filed in alphabetical order by either
the title of the set (if there is one), or the specific title (either serial
or monograph).  If we maintain that arrangement, we anticipate problems in
our OPAC display - the notes may not direct users to the larger set.  How do
other libraries handle their fiche?  If they are classified (either with a
formal system like LC or an in-house system), are individual fiche sleeved?
How do you handle situations where patrons separate the fiche from the sleeve
and there is no indication on the actual fiche of its "call no." location?
Do some libraries still maintain their fiche collections in a closed stack
environment?  Has anyone _closed_ their fiche collection to browsing, and why?
Obviously, I want to know it all.  Any feedback that anyone can give would be
greatly appreciated, and responses from similar-sized or larger libraries
is especially needed (we are approaching our 1,000,000th volume).  You may
respond to me directly or to the list.  Thanks.

If you plan to use both systems maybe you can put the option to select to
search using MESH or LCSH, or you can make a relation between both systems,
or you can put all the terms to search. But, MESH is very powerfull and if
you have a good assignation of index terms the results must be good. Anyway
why to use both systems? They have difference that could make difficult the
searches. If you give the option of both searches ...I thougth that it well
be an interesting discussion

I know of at least one site with alias and reversal databases with over 115,000
entries.  They say it works just fine.  PMDF uses a keyed, indexed file so
lookups are pretty fast.

This should work just fine.  Unfortunately, you cannot couple REVERSE mappings
with the reversal database.  (If this were possible, and your usernames "user"
were unique across all nodes "node", then you could simplify things by first
using a REVERSE mapping to map user%node@mc.duke.edu to user@mc.duke.edu.  This
would then cut down on the number of entries per user in the reversal
database.)

The best way to do it is to contact all the lists and unsubscribe the sucker.
The problem with the deep-six approach is that the mail continues to arrive and
will do so forever. This can eventually become a real issue if you get enough
of this sort of traffic.

However, you can easily deep-six mail in PMDF if you like -- set up a bitbucket
channel and forward this guys mail to the a doman name that maps to this
channel. (The username you forward to is, of course, not relevant.)

This is totally a matter of taste. We have sites that return mail after a week
and say nothing in the interim. Other sites want it returned after one hour in
the queue. To each his (or her) own.

You can run RETURN either daily or hourly. It does not support any other modes
of operation. (The RETURN_UNITS PMDF option controls this.) My recommendation
is that you leave RETURN_UNITS alone and set up a return policy so that
warnings are sent after one day. This is the most reasonable choice, in my
opinion. But like I say: to each his (or her) own.

I will let others explain to you what PMDF does and doesn't do.

I am responding to your posting to file a STRONG OBJECTION to what you are
doing! There is already enough junk traffic on the Internet without more
people designing automatons to troll for information that isn't desired
by anyone. There are probably 1,000 systems on this campus alone running
mailers, and I don't particularly want you probing them all to find out
how they're configured. Please reconsider what you're doing!

Hi all,

We're running VMS 5.3-1 on a VAXcluster consists of MicroVAX 3400,
MicroVAX II, and 3 x MicroVAX 2000.  They also have PMDF 4.0, Jnet 3.5,

software after the upgrade, and if there's any problem with the system
after the upgrade.

Would anyone please advise ?

Thank you very much !

Subject:      Help setting up mailing lists
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.pmdf-l



We have a news server with newsgroups such as email.msmail.appletalk.  I'd
like to create MAILSERV mailing lists with the same name, as far as the user
is concerned.

If I create .DIS files by replacing periods with underscores, users also
will have to replace periods with underscores when they SUBSCRIBE.

Can the mapping file be used to change the command sent to MAILSERV?  For
instance, map SUBSCRIBE EMAIL.MSMAIL.APPLETALK ... to SUBSCRIBE
EMAIL-MSMAIL-APPLETALK ...?

Thank you.

Hi all,

We're running VMS 5.3-1 on a VAXcluster consists of MicroVAX 3400,
MicroVAX II, and 3 x MicroVAX 2000.  They also have PMDF 4.0, Jnet 3.5,
and UCX 1.3a running on.  We'll upgrade to VMS 5.5 and UCX 2.0 (TCP/IP
for VMS) shortly, but I wonder if there's any incompatibility with these
software after the upgrade, and if there's any problem with the system
after the upgrade.

Would anyone please advise ?

Thank you very much !

Regards,
