>Hi Everyone:
>First of all, I would like to issue the usual apology for cross-posting.
>Please feel free to disregard if you have already seen this message on

>I wanted to announce a new forum that I have started through Yahoo Groups
>called Librarymedievalists. As the name indicates, it is a forum
>specifically for librarians who are interested in any aspect of medieval
>studies. Please feel free to read the information below and join the
>discussion! If you have any questions, please feel free to write back to me!
>Thanks

>Guide to Joining the Librarymedievalists Discussion Group (Yahoo Groups)
>
>I. Introduction
>The Librarymedievalists discussion group is a brand new list devoted to
>librarians and library school students who are either medievalists or have
>an interest in any aspect of the societies or peoples from medieval
>cultures around the world (including Europe, Asia, the Middle East).
>Discussions can include question about medieval topics, calls for papers,
>collection development issues, teaching instructional sessions pertaining
>to relevant subject matter, or anything of interest to the group.
>To join, just follow the directions below. If you are already registered
>with Yahoo Groups, then please feel free to proceed to Step III below.
>Thanks for your interest! Look forward to seeing your messages! If you
>have any questions, please feel free to email me at
>[log in to unmask] or at my Yahoo address ([log in to unmask]).
>Sincerely,
>David J. Duncan

>II. Registering for Yahoo Groups
>To be a member of the group, you must first register with Yahoo groups. To
>do so, follow these steps:
>1. Using Netscape or Internet Explorer, go to this URL:
>http://groups.yahoo.com/
>2. When the Yahoo Groups page appears, look at the top left part of the
>screen. Just beneath the "Yahoo Groups" name, there is a Sign In box. At
>the top of the box, there is a line marked "New users: Click here to
>register". Click on that link.
>3. The Registration page should now be in front of you. Fill out the form
>carefully by choosing a user name (it can be your real name or, as in my
>case, a nickname) and a password that you can remember. This is important
>because Yahoo Groups has several options including subscribing and
>unsubscribing to groups as well as accessing certain group archival sites
>which require you to be logged in. The next section has blanks for a
>security question, an answer to that question, your birth date, and an
>alternate email address. The security question and answer are important if
>you forget your password and need to be reminded of it. (Note: Even as a
>moderator, I do not have access to this information!) Your alternate email
>address could be your work account, another commercial account or can be
>left blank. The final section requires your zip code, gender, occupation,
>and industry. For the last two items, I would choose "Academic/Educator"
>and "Education, research" choices respectively. Then, unless you want lots
>of sales pitches, deselect (uncheck) the box next to "Contact me
>occasionally about special offers and Yahoo! Features" and do not check
>any of the area below that line. Finally, once everything is set, click on
>the "Submit Form" button.
>
>
>III. Registering for Librarymedievalists
>Once you are registered with Yahoo Groups, you can join
>librarymedievalists! To do so, just follow these steps:
>1.) Go to this URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Librarymedievalists
>2.) In the upper right corner, there is a link "Join this group". Click on it.
>3.) The next page offers some listserv options. (Frequency of messages
>(digest or regular), format of messages (leave as HTML unless you wish to
>receive text/non-HTML), and the email address to which you would like your
>mail to be sent (either your primary Yahoo one or the alternate address)
>4.) Look over the form and make sure that everything is filled out
>correctly. When finished, click on the "Subscribe" button. This action
>will send the message to me for approval. Yahoo will send a message
>detailing this procedure.
>5.) Once I get the message, I'll write you back with a survey-currently
>under development asking a few questions: name, affiliation, position
>title, medieval interests, topics you would like to see discussed, etc.
>6.) Just reply to the message with your answers.
>7.) If everything's in order, I will add you to the group.
>
>Once again, if you have any questions, please contact me at
>[log in to unmask]
>Thanks! I am looking forward to your comments in the Group!
