To read one of these, just click on the link in the table below. Several departments at Rutgers use newsgroups for announcements and discussions. There are too many to list here. If your department has newsgroups, we recommend putting links to them on your departmental web page. That will let people subscribe to them simply by choosing the links.
Many courses use newsgroups to distribute assignments and to conduct discussions.
We recommend that faculty place links on the class web page, to make it easy for students to subscribe. To go to a group, double-click on it. If you want to see all of the groups, subscribe to one group. Then follow the instructions above to get a list of groups. There are several kinds of groups you will probably want to read.
