NewJour Announcement List

NewJour is an electronic announcement list that updates the ARL
Directory of Electronic Journals and Newsletters between its annual,
formal printed and networked editions.  As of June 1995, it has 2,000
subscribers from all seven continents and posts on average ten new
networked serials per day.  "New" titles are either brand new creations
or titles that are newly discovered for the ARL database of e-serials.

NewJour welcomes your interest and announcements and hopes to offer
enhanced services before the end of 1995.

To subscribe to NewJour, send a message to:

        majordomo@ccat.sas.upenn.edu

Leave the subject line blank and in the body of the message type:

        subscribe NewJour

Direct postings of new serials should be directed to:

        NewJour@ccat.sas.upenn.edu

NewJour was created in Summer 1993 and and provides a place for creators
of new electronic journals to report their plans and announcements to
potential subscribers.  It is also updated by postings from the ARL
staff as they routinely discover new Internet serial titles (journals,
newsletters, magazines, zines, and other formats).

This electronic conference began on server space provided by the
American Mathematical Society.  In January of 1995 it relocated to a
site offered at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Computer
Analysis of Texts, a group that offered service and support for
our growing enterprise.

The complete set of backfiles of NewJour postings is updated daily
It is a fully searchable archive and can be found at:

        gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu:5070/11/journals/newjour

The list is co-moderated by:

Ann Okerson/Association of Research Libraries

Happy Serial Cyber-Hunting to you all,
