   Association of Japanese Business Studies-List (AJBS-L)

   AJBS-L is the electronic communications network for the Association of
   Japanese Business Studies. The "L" in AJBS-L stands for "list," a term
   indicating an electronic communications network.

   AJBS-L allows transmission of electronic mail and files worldwide (via
   Bitnet, Internet, Junet, Compuserve, MCI Mail, etc.). Subscription is
   free and open to anyone who can access a BITNET or INTERNET electronic
   address. While the AJBS-L is located on a mainframe computer, anyone
   with a personal computer and modem may gain access.

   AJBS-L provides information exchange via e-mail and also provides
   document/file transfers between AJBS-L subscribers. A subscriber is
   anyone who has requested an AJBS-L subscription by sending a message to
   the communications management software (called LISTSERV) located on the
   mainframe computer at Princeton University, USA. A subscriber
   also has the option of concealing their name and node address from
   public scrutiny.

   A. Policy Statement: AJBS-L Activities
      AJBS-L is a "business and economics" communications network for the
      Association of Japanese Business Studies. Any activity by AJBS-L
      subscribers which would normally be conducted between business and
      economics faculty, students, and business practictioners is allowed
      and encouraged, and definitely not restricted in any manner. The
      faculty and students of colleges of business at the university level
      are expected and required to closely interact and assist the business
      community. Therefore, as AJBS-L editor and as a full-time business
      faculty member, I welcome and encourage full AJBS-L participation
      from the business community.

   B. Present Activities of AJBS-L

      1. E-mail
         Once a user subscribes to AJBS-L, (s)he may send mail to the list
         for distribution to all its members. All members of the mailing
         list will receive a copy of each piece of mail sent to the list.
         All of the mail that is received and redistributed by the list is
         cataloged and stored in a database that can be searched or
         retrieved by individuals with access to AJBS-L.

         In order to prevent "rapid-fire" random e-mail transmissions, all
         messages are relayed to the AJBS-L editor for a weekly (normally
         every Monday) batch mail release. In addition, each subscriber may
         disable the automatic AJBS-L e-mail transmission to their site and
         download logfiles of each month's traffic.

      2. AJBS-L Filelist
         Datafiles are available for downloading. The objective is to
         develop a clearinghouse of information on the business and
         economic systems of Eastern European countries.

         To receive the current listing of files, send the following to the
         LISTSERV (not to AJBS-L), with the following:
         GET AJBS-L FILELIST

         a) File Downloads
            GET filename filetype AJBS-L

            For example,
            GET AJBS-L INDEX

         b) File subscriptions
            Specialized information or information which is too large for
            normal e-mail is placed in AJBS-L datafiles for downloading by
            subscribers. Details of the current datafiles are found in
            AJBS-L INDEX.

            You may "subscribe" to a datafile in one of two ways: 1)
            automatic downloading of the entire file to your address with
            each update; 2) automatic notification that the file has been
            updated. You may terminate this file subscription upon demand.

            Send the following to the LISTSERV (not to AJBS-L) at PUCC:
            1) To download one file, one time, without subscribing:
               GET filename filetype AJBS-L

               Example,
               GET AJBS-L INDEX
            2) To receive automatic file downloads (AFD=automatic file
               distribution) upon file updates:
               AFD ADD filename filetype

               Example:
               AFD ADD AJBS-L INDEX
            3) To cancel automatic file downloads:
               AFD DEL filename filetype
            4) To receive automatic file update information (FUI):
               FUI ADD filename filetype
            5) To cancel automatic file update information:
               FUI DEL filename filetype
            6) To receive a list of files to which you are subscribed:
               AFD LIST
               or
               FUI LIST

      3. Potential/Future Activities
         a) electronic business newsletter
         b) electronic user directories
         c) bibliographies of current business research
         d) research on business activities (exports, imports, or direct
            investment)
         e) job bank
