LISTSERV
Many e-journals are distributed by listserv software. Subscribing to a
listserv which distributes an e-journal means you will receive issues
of the e-journal as they come out. Most journals distributed by list-
servs include information on the journal's listserv e-mail address.
Listservs are computer programs which maintain lists of e-mail addresses.
When you join a listserv, your e-mail address is added to the list. When
a listserv subscriber sends a message to the list, that message is re-
distributed to all other list subscribers. E-journals distributed in this
manner are simply e-mail messages.
Subscribe to a listserv by sending a single line message to the listserv
address in the form of:
SUBSCRIBE LISTNAME your_name
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Example: To subscribe to the LIST REVIEW SERVICE <jnl.032> send a single
line message to: LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU consisting of:
SUBSCRIBE LSTREV-L Raleigh Muns
