The area at ftp.css.itd.umich.edu in /poli is now underway, and I I now  
have information on how contributors can submit material to the site.

The following documents are available in /poli and describe the area and  
how to use it.
__________________________________________________________________________

1. /poli/_about.the.site

8/15/92

Welcome to the /poli area of the site.  This area is dedicated to the free  
dissemination of political literature: journals, newsletters, essays,  
reviews of academic and cultural material (books, movies, music), and just  
about anything else that can fit with a political theme.

Space is limited at this time.  While all are invited to contribute to the  
archives, preference will be given to the materials of individuals and  
organizations that have limited funds or access to distribution media.

If you are interested in contributing single documents, please just send  
them along.  If you represent an organization seeking a permanent home for  
your literature or newsletter archives, please send your request for space  
via e-mail.

This area is managed by Paul Southworth, and e-mail should be directed to:  
pauls@umich.edu.  TO SIMPLIFY MY MAIL HANDLING, PLEASE INCLUDE THE WORD  
"FTP" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUBJECT LINE.

If you would like to negotiate for a large area of allocated space, please  
consider making a donation toward the purchase of a SCSI hard drive to be  
chained onto the system.

HOW TO SUBMIT ITEMS TO THE ARCHIVE

Due to security considerations of the administrators who have graciously  
provided us with the space, there will be no directory to which potential  
submissions can be sent via ftp.  All submissions must be sent by  
electronic mail, or via snail mail on disk.

To submit via email, send to:  pauls@umich.edu

BE SURE TO INCLUDE "FTP" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUBJECT LINE TO SIMPLIFY  
MY MAIL HANDLING.

To submit via USmail, send to: Paul Southworth
