   A Loose Association of Electronic Discussion Groups and Electronic
   Journals of Interest to Scholars.

   There are more than 600 discussion groups, newsletters, digests and
   electronic journals devoted to topics of scholarly interest.  As more
   scholars come on-line, the size of these groups, the diversity of
   material they have to offer, and their total number are all bound to
   increase.  These groups could benefit from a loose confederation that
   would allow them to share resources easily without imposing any kind
   of restrictions on their manner of operation.  Arachnet is such a
   confederation.

   Arachnet is a ListServ list, Arachnet@Uottawa.BITNET or ARACHNET@ACADVM1.
   Uottawa.CA if you are on the Internet.  All editors of
   discussion groups, newsletters, digests and electronic journals are
   invited to be members.  On its file-server, Arachnet will contain a
   current list of its member groups, descriptions of each group, and
   lists of files they hold.  As well as the current Directory of E-mail
   Based Conferences and Electronic Journals.  Arachnet's fileserver
   will also hold various information files pertaining to the creation
   of e-serials.

   The conversational component will be a means by which editors of new
   groups can receive help from their colleagues on questions of
   editorial policy and the social/ethical aspects of electronic
   conferencing.  Arachnet is not intended to replace Lstown-L@INDYCMS
   which is a discussion list for listowners to discuss technical
   aspects of Listserv based discussion group management.

   Arachnet will be an unedited list but will accept postings only from
   Arachnet subscribers.  If you are an editor or owner of an existing
   or future e-mail based forum, you are cordially invited to join.

   Please fill out the attached e-form and return it to one of the
   Editors listed below.  Please follow the format below as closely as
   possible.
