As we move into the paperless society, there are more and more
journals, magazines and newsletters which are being published on
the Internet. This column will concentrate on describing a variety
of those available through e-mail and those on the Internet and
WWW. Also included is a list called E-ZINE. E-ZINE is a listserv
for keeping up with electronic magazines.
****VERY IMPORTANT**** When subscribing to any of the following
journals, make sure that, in place of the words "your name", you
actually type your name. For example, if I wanted to subscribe to
the ejournal described below, I would send a message to
listserv@albany.bitnet but the message would be SUB EJRNL LINDA
PUTNAM, not SUB EJRNL .
