This is a good question for discussion.
Unhappily for me, but splendid luck
for the rest of the list, I must
sign off for the holidays. So, you
will just have to muddle along as
best you can without my observations.
I suspect that you will somehow
manage to cope.

Happy holidays to those who have them.

        The exchange between Paz and Jensen raises, once again, the issue
of how historians can know (guess) what people were thinking and which
thoughts were most important.

This reminds of an idea I had a while back to start a Discussion
Group within ALA for newsletter editors.  The problem was where
to place the group and I was starting to lose interest in working
the hallways of ALA.  I was wondering whether you'd consider
making the proposed list a little broader to include editors
 electronic ones.  I mean, if the problem you are
having is spelling, a print editor would be just as helpful.
I'm not directly interested myself - I just finished a 3-year
stint as editor of a newsletter - but I would guess that other
editors would jump at the chance to have someone to talk to.

I could use this kind of help. I'm not sure another list is
the best place for it or whether we should try to use VPIEJ-L.
I just sent off a guide to the literature of virtual reality to
the publisher, and am still not sure about the capitalization
of many network resources, such as the WELL (or Well) and
USENET or Usenet. Also when to use <angle brackets> for net
addresses. Come to think of it, I don't know if "angle bracket"
is the right name for those marks.

The list CCNEWS@BITNIC often has these discussions of style and usage.
Perhaps we should use it.  My major problem with it is that it is a
moderated list and comes out on a regular but unpredictable basis.  I
would prefer at minimum a daily moderated list and at best an open but
controlled (by the participants) discussion.

I'm not sure what Michael S meant when he started this thread.  There is a
listserv for listserv owners--pretty inactive--is that it?

A listserv is a name of an address-space on a computer.  In some respects
it's rather like an ExLibris or a VPIEJ-L or a graham (as in graham@zodiac).

I would be interested in joining a list of network editors (i.e., people
who exercise some editorial control over their lists), but only if the
topics as well as the traffic are restricted to the central interests of
of the group. Too many of the lists I join drift off into totally unre-
lated areas, and I have to unsub. If someone will organize a reasonably
disciplined list, I'd be happy to try t for a while.

I agree.  I would be willing to setup such a list here if someone would
play Owner and moderator.  I think it should be a moderated or perhaps
even a closed list.  It would be a good start at developing a style guide.

Judging by the number of reponses I have received seems that my experience
of a need for conventions is shared. I hate the thought of yet one more list
so will suggest that we find a list that will accept discussion of writing
conventions regarding net words (the volume will not be too heavy, I suspect).

I will maintain a working document for the group and make it available
on ftp and listserv. Others have suggested that we aim to create an
informal style sheet that will address some of the typographical
issues and help standardize spelling of such animals as Free-Net and LisTSERv.

If the list owner(s) of VPIEJ-L is agreeable to the use of VPIEJ-L for such
discussion, I would suggest that, as a courtesy to the rest of the list,
we use the subject prefex CONVEN: in all convention postings, so those
not interested can quickly delete.

Once, and if, we get agreement from the list owner, I would like to discuss
the matter of listserv, LISTSERV, Listserv... under the subject heading:
CONVEN: Listserv

If we do not find an agreeable list, I can create one, but would rather not
do so.

I am often faced with editing questions when writing documentation

a Listserv forum. I wonder if others feel the need for a semi-private
(to keep volume reasonable) list for editors/authors of net stuff?

For example, what is the proper  rendering of "listserv"? I have seen
listserv (small case in bold), LISTSERV and Listserv. Recently had a telephone
conversation with an editor as we tried to figure out the proper spelling
of freenet for a forthcoming piece.  Turns out its Free-Net...

I hate to throw a series of such questions up on HELP-NET (too many answers,
often contradictory) and would prefer to speak to those in the "business".

Any thoughts on this?

              (Dec 15,  9:46am)

I hope anyone with information on this question WILL respond to
the list as I am also interested in this question.  Related to
this, I have a question: I understand that you can run DOS
under a Unix network, but I do not understand why it works.
Can anyone explain this??  My specific question is, if your
network operating system is Unix, how can a DOS version of
WordPerfect work, why don't you have to install a UNIX
version of WordPerfect?  I guess I do not understand how
the network operating system runs in the "background" and
is unrelated to the software on it.  Thanks---Laurie Potter

We have decided to go with the "editor's" version rather than Pergamon's
on the assumption that the intellectual legitimacy lies with the editor
rather than the publisher.  If the legal decision goes in favor of
Pergamon, we will probably have to go back and purchase the missing
issues. It was a decision that had to be made in a hurry and with
little data -- so I made my best guess.  Time will tell.

I saw an ad for a Stedman's that's MS word compatible.  I'll look for
the ad and see if I can find the details.  Rats.  I knew I threw that
away too fast.

          The following is from Sheldon Kotzin, Chief, Bibliographic
          Services:


               I would like to thank Larry Wright of the NIEHS Library
          for his kind remarks about MeSH and indexing at NLM.  Mrs.
          Charen, by the way, is still working at NLM, having had a
          distinguished career for many years in the Index Section and
          since 1988 in the MeSH Section.

               While NLM often receives compliments about its database
          services, we welcome comments and criticisms as well.  You
          may contact me at 301-496-6217 or Carolyn Tilley at
          301-402-1076.
