Hello the List,
Below are the instructions for subscribing (free) to 'NewJour', an e-mail
notification list for new e-journals.
'NEWJOUR' IS NOT ART SPECIFIC, BUT DOES INCLUDE ART E-JOURNALS.
Subscribe with some caution as you will receive heavy traffic. I would
highly recommend the 'digest' (see below) setting for these notices, as this
will bind them into a bundle of e-mails you will receive once a day only.
This makes the volume quite manageable. Another timesaver is the fact that
the journal titles show up in the 'Subject' of each e-mail, so you can scan
through quickly and delete non-art ones without having to actually open
them.
It is very easy to 'unsubscribe' from this list, so you have nothing to
loose!

Welcome to NewJour, the New Journal and Newsletter Announcement List for
new serials on the Internet. Information for subscribing, unsubscribing,
and setting "digest" and "nomail" options appears below.
NewJour aims to accomplish two objectives; it is both a list and a
project.
FIRST:
NewJour is the place to *announce* your own (or to forward information
about others') newly planned, newly issued, or revised *ELECTRONIC
NETWORKED* journal or newsletter. It is specially dedicated for those
who wish to share information in the planning, gleam-in-the-eye stage
or at a more mature stage of publication development and availability.
It is also the place to announce availability of paper journals and
newsletters as they become available on -- move into -- electronic
networks. Scholarly discussion lists *which regularly and
continuously maintain supporting files of substantive articles or
preprints* may also be reported, for those journal-like sections.
We hope that those who see announcements on Bitnet, Internet, Usenet
or other media will forward them to NewJour, but this does run a
significant risk of boring subscribers with a number of duplicate
messages. Therefore, NewJour IS filtered through a moderator to
eliminate this type of duplication.
It does not attempt to cover areas that are already covered by other
lists. For example, sources like NEW-LIST describe new discussion
lists; VPIEJ-L handles many matters related to electronic
publishing of journals. SERIALST discusses the technical aspects of
all kinds of serials. You should continue to subscribe to these as
you have done before, and contribute to them.
SECOND:
NewJour represents an identification and road-mapping project
for electronic journals and newsletters, begun by Michael Strangelove,
University of Ottawa and carried on by the Association of Research
Libraries as of 1993. NewJour has expanded and continued that work
and is now formally separate from the ongoing ARL Directory project,
whose evolving web verion may be found at:
http://arl.cni.org/scomm/edir/index.html
ARCHIVE:
The backfiles of NewJour are archived and searchable through the kindness
of the James Jacobs of the University of California (San Diego) library,
and may be found at http://gort.ucsd.edu/newjour.
Life on this list:
To unsubscribe, send mail to [log in to unmask] with the simple
message:
unsubscribe newjour
(To subscribe again, or for a new subscriber, send to the same address the
message:
subscribe newjour your-name
Traffic on the list is sometimes quite heavy. If you would prefer to
receive all of a day's messages (sometimes 10-15) in a single "digest"
packet sent out very early in the morning US time, then send this request
to [log in to unmask]:
set newjour mail digest
To change from digest to non-digest, then send this message to the same
address:
set newjour mail ack
To set either form of NewJour to suspend delivery for a time, send this
message:
set newjour postpone
. . . and then either "set newjour mail ack" for regular service or "set
newjour mail digest" for the digest service when you return.
