All About Listservs

From Margo

"Listserv is a small program that automatically redistributes e-mail to names on a mailing list. 
Users can subscribe to a mailing list by sending an e-mail note to a mailing list they learn about; 
listserv will automatically add the name and distribute future e-mail postings to every subscriber. 
(Requests to subscribe and unsubscribe are sent to a special address so that all subscribers do 
not see these requests.) These programs are also known as list servers."

"An automatic mailing list server developed by Eric Thomas for BITNET in 1986. When e-mail 
is addressed to a LISTSERV mailing list, it is automatically broadcast to everyone on the list.
The result is similar to a newsgroup or forum, except that the messages are transmitted as e-mail 
and are therefore available only to individuals on the list."

Definitions submitted

1.   Listserv is a way to communicate with other people in a discussion forum on specific areas and 
      topics of choice. You can sign up for multiple lists and get information e-mailed to you on whatever 
      you're interested in.
2.   I find a listserv is an electronic mail facility that allows one to participate in electronic discussion 
      groups and in this case, on nursing topics.
3.   As far as I can tell a listserv is just a way of communicating about a chosen subject by sending e-mail 
      messages to a certain e-mail address
4.   LISTSERV is a commercial mailing list management system that allows you to subscribe to or create, 
      manage, and control an electronic mailing list
5.   It appears to be a website that is a human edited directory of a multitude of subjects and websites. 
      You can even sign up to be an editor in a subject you are interested in.

AOL Anywhere's 
Health Site 
Search- topics/issues 
plus links to others
  http://web.health.aol.thriveonline.oxygen.com/map/index.html
 AORN links to searchable 
databases and links 
to electronic Nursing mailing  lists and ListServs
   http://www.aorn.org/links.asp

As you are looking around the internet, pay attention to how different websites display their links to other sites.  See what you like. You may want to save, on your disk, pages that you like, so you can 
use those ideas, later in the course, when you are constructing your WebSite.

Class One

For starters, here are a couple of places you might want to visit. 

Also, here are some other links. Check them out! Now:
Look at the appearance of the links themselves in both groups above. 
Which is more inviting? Informative? 
Which do you prefer?
E-mail your instructor with your responses.

Feedback:
Those of you I heard from were evenly divided in which appearance you liked for the links. Those who liked the first set said you found them more informative, interesting, and specific to the material. People liking the second set found them less intimidating than the string of characters in the first set, more informative as to the content, and easier to read.
