Subject: Duplicate Exchange List Date: Thu, 29 Sep 1994 21:44:50 -0400 ** BACKSERV ** The Serials Back Issues and Duplicate Exchange List We are pleased to announce the creation of BACKSERV, a new list devoted exclusively to the informal exchange of serials back issues among libraries. BACKSERV provides a forum for the listing of both available and desired serial issues in all subject areas. BACKSERV is not a forum for the discussion of the process of exchanging back issues of serials or of the merits of various dealers or exchange avenues. Messages of this type should be posted instead to SERIALST or ACQNET. Each message sent to BACKSERV should list one or more issues which are either wanted or available. Please do not include both wanted and available titles in the same message. The Subject line of each message should include either the word WANTED or AVAILABLE. Optionally, this may be followed by a general subject area, when applicable, as in the examples below: Subject: WANTED Subject: WANTED - History Subject: AVAILABLE Subject: AVAILABLE - History As a guide, messages should be kept to no more than 100 lines. Please include complete contact information in your message. BACKSERV will not be a moderated list. It is meant purely as a communication vehicle for librarians and library staff offering or seeking back issues of serial titles. You do not need to be subscribed to the list to send messages. Replies to messages should be sent directly to the sender and NOT to the list. Dealers and other exchange organizations are welcome to monitor the list but are asked not to send messages to BACKSERV at this time. The BACKSERV archives are publicly accessible and may be retrieved by subscribers and non-subscribers. Messages are collected weekly. To find out what is available in the archives, send a message to LISTSERV@SUN.READMORE.COM that reads: index BACKSERV. To retrieve weekly files from the archives, send a message to LISTSERV@SUN.READMORE.COM that reads: get as listed in the index. The BACKSERV archive is also searchable using LDBASE search software by subscribers and non-subscribers. The search request should be sent to LISTSERV@SUN.READMORE.COM and should be constructed as follows: // JOB Echo=No Database Search DD=Rules //Rules DD * Search - in BACKSERV Index Print all /* In place of , you may insert any word, words or word string, such as a journal title, to do a full text search of the archive. Listings will remain in the archives for six months. The archives of BACKSERV will soon be part of a Gopher and will be fully searchable using built-in WAIS indexing. At that time, we will provide you with full instructions and a description of other resources available on this Gopher. To subscribe to this list, send a message to LISTSERV@SUN.READMORE.COM that reads: subscribe BACKSERV To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to LISTSERV@SUN.READMORE.COM that reads: unsubscribe BACKSERV BACKSERV is being hosted by Readmore, Inc.

Russell Neuswanger (Library of Congress) Subject: Announcing a new list: INETBIB (Editor's note: This is being cross-posted from German-E, the list of acquisitions people for Germanic Languages; I did not edit the German portion of the message as my understanding of that language is sparse! My apologies if the line lengths look strange.) INETBIB on MAISER@ZB.UB.UNI-DORTMUND.DE INETBIB discusses Internet usage in German or German-speaking libraries. Is it useful in any way to integrate Internet in libraries respecting the current state of art? Is Internet in any way useful for librarians' work? If so, how to get even uninterested people contacted with the Internet resources? The language used in the list is German, though English mails are accepted of course. To subscribe send a message to maiser@zb.ub.uni-dortmund.de In the first line of the message (not in the subject!) enter the line SUBSCRIBE INETBIB You don't need to put your name after that sentence. You will receive a short note about the list and its history, in German. In fact the list is not that new, we already have about 150 subscribers. Owner: If you have further questions feel free to write to Michael Schaarwaechter Michael.Schaarwaechter@zb.ub.uni-dortmund.de Uni Dortmund, Library, Network Vogelpothsweg 76, D-44227 Dortmund Fax +49 231 727 5021 Willkommen in der Liste "Internet in Bibliotheken"! --------------------------------------------------- Diese Liste wurde im Mai 1994 an der Universitaetsbibliothek der Uni Dortmund ins Leben gerufen.
