JSIS-UW , the Jackson School of International Studies Calendar List, is an example of an electronic journal. Some lists have extremely few messages with only a couple of postings a week or a month. Others can generate five, ten or more messages a day. The former is the one you use to correspond with the list subscribers. Always send commands to the list server software address.
Commands vary slightly depending on the type of automated software used.
Also see Indiana University's help pages on mailing list . There are several ways of finding a list. You can use email to query listservers . You can also access one of several searchable databases or lists of automated mailing lists . Once you've subscribed, the rest is up to you.
