You are invited to participate in the new online EENETS forum.

EENETS is an Internet mailing list that is also being run as a conference
internationally on the Association for Progressive Communications networks.
Its  main purpose is to provide a forum for people interested in the
development and operation of electronic networks in environmental education
settings.

The creation of the list was suggested at the Eco-Ed conference in
Toronto in October of 1992.  At this conference it became clear that
there were many network-based projects running or being planned.  This
mail list is an attempt to help coordinate information about these
projects and the networks on which they are running so we can learn from
the experiences of others.

To subscribe to the Internet mail list, send an electronic message to:
    EENETS-request@UM.CC.UMICH.EDU
    Subject: [BLANK]
    Text: Just state that you want to be added to the EENETS mail list.
      Please also include your full name - NOT your electronic mail
      address.

To be deleted:
    EENETS-request@UM.CC.UMICH.EDU
    Subject: [BLANK]
    Text: UNSUBSCRIBE EENETS

All problems, questions, etc., should be sent to
EENETS-request@UM.CC.UMICH.EDU

If you wish to participate in this list as a member of a conference on
one of the APC networks, do NOT subscribe to the Internet list, but
rather use the conference named <list.eenets> on your host system.
Messages posted in the conference are distributed to the Internet
mail-list, and vice-versa.

An initial activity suggested was to generate as comprehensive of a list
as possible of existing or planned network-based EE projects.  To that
end, we ask all new members to send in descriptions of any of these
projects of which they are aware.  The short descriptions should be in
the rough form of:

  Project Name:
  Short Description:
  Network/Systems on which it is run:
  Availability: Who is it open to? Grades? Locations? Equipment? Costs?
  Contact Name:
  Comments:

These descriptions should not only be of strictly human to human
communications, but also of other resources and services available via
this medium that may be of interest to environmental educators.
This list will be maintained by the "National Clearinghouse for
Environmental Education and Training" (NCEET) project at the University
of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and the Environment.  This
document will be updated to indicate how to obtain a copy of these
descriptions once a collection has been initiated.

Coordinator: Clancy Wolf     cwolf@UMICH.EDU

If you know of other individuals or organizations who should be invited to
participate, please forward this invitation, or send their e-mail addresses
to Andy Alm:

     aalm@igc.apc.org
