Once you find the mailing lists you want to subscribe to, send an e-mail message to the list coordinator. Most lists are automated, so your e-mail message has to follow a strict syntax. If you find that the listserv doesn't suit your needs, you can easily get off the list. If you belong to a professional association, ask the officers whether it has a listserv. Even if you can't attend as many events as you'd like, being on the listserv can give you news quickly and help keep you abreast of confer-ences, trends, and professional contacts.

For example, if it's a moderated list, they still have to screen information for appropriateness. Cynthia Chin-Lee speaks on the World Wide Web and social networking.
