APPENDIX: LISTSERV address & basic procedures
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT'S NEW . . .
* We now have all of the 1993 Radio Free Europe Daily Reports on our
server and available for both browsing (by month) and searching.
Available from the "News" page and then from the "RFE/RL" page.
This material can also be searched directly using WAIS client
software. The relevant source information is:
host: solar.rtd.utk.edu
port: 210
database: rferl93
Our continued thanks to the good folks at RFE and to John Lepingwell,
in particular, who has spent many hours organizing these reports
for us.
The 1991 and 1992 materials will be available by the end of this week.
* New pointer to Casey Palowitch's Russian and East European Studies
WWW Server at the University of Pittsburg.
The Russian and East European Studies Home Pages are a comprehensive
hypertext guide to the worldwide network-accessible resources available to
scholars in the interdisciplinary study of Russia and Eastern Europe.
This is an excellent WWW server -- an an important new resource -- available
from the "more info resources" page.
* New pointer to Central European Environmental Libraries Database.
Available from the More Information Resources Page (under Central/East
European resources).
This database was created to facilitate peer-matching opportunities between
libraries in Central Eastern European countries (especially those
specializing in the collection of environmental information) and their
counterpart special libraries in other parts of the world. Activities
spanning a broad range are possible, including, (but not limited to) the
following:
Donating Journals Subscriptions
Assisting in Collections Development
Providing Specialized or Expert Resources
Arranging for Staff Echange Opportunities
Providing E-Mail Assistance or Access to Specific Information
Exchanging Monitoring and Scientific Data in Specific Areas
Engaging in Collaborative Research Project Development
* Anesthesiology Gopher Server available from Health page. The NYU Medical
Center Department of Anesthesiology would like to announce the GASNET
Anesthesiology Gopher Server. This Gopher server offers text, files, and
pictures of interest to anesthesiologists. It is the home of the archives
of the Anesthesiology Discussion Group, and the new, on-line anesthesiology
journal, "Educational Synopses in Anesthesiology and Critical Care."
* Tom Torriglia of "Those Darn Accordions" has provided us with some
beautiful music entitled, "Autumn in Vilnius", a song recorded during their
recent tour through the Baltics and available on their latest CD,
"Squeeze This". The digitized version of this song is available
from the "music" page. Thanks to Tom and his group for providing us
with this music -- we hope to post some additional music from his group
during the next few weeks.
* We are glad to hear from Rick Olano again and receive from him a new
issue of the "Pen Pal Forum" -- which we have posted on the pen pal
page available from both the "life" and "education" pages. Rick's
system has recently been moved as the following from Rick explains:
Our host TriState Online has officially been turned over to the Cincinnati
Consortium of Colleges and Universities. Previously housed in the Cincinnati
Bell Building, TSO is now housed at the Northern Kentucky University.
Problems with the Internet link have plagued us during the transition and as
a result you all have not been getting the Pen Pal Forum of late. There
have been good souls working very hard to get everything together in TSO's
new home. Within the past couple of days the administration feels that the
Internet connection is now 100% okay.
So now we will resume where we left off. Several new subscribers have
joined the list either by request from the individual or through someone
else. If you are one who were subscribed by another and do not wish to be
subscribed, just drop me a note.
* We have updated the 'friends' database with all of the recently provided
bio-demo profiles of our friends subscribers.
If you are a new subscriber (or an 'old' one :-)) and wish to be
represented in the 'friends' database, please complete the following

Subject: Help with Siberian and Far East Trip
Thanking our Amercian and Russian friends for this wonderful joint network
project "FRIENDS & PARTNERS," I would like to utilize it from Korea. I hope
that you won't mind a Korean's participation.
I am trying to organize a trip to Siberia and Russian Far East this summer
(prbably early July) for a small group of Korean specialists on Russia
(mostly political scientists and economists) myself included.
With this trip plan, I would like to locate guides in major cities of
the region who will organize the things which would match our needs and
interests. The following items are a tentative summary of what we want to do
& see and where we want to visit.
First of all, I want to include in our itinerary major social science
research institutes and universities in the region where we can have some
informative discussions with local scholars. Specific interests of our group
will include: regional autonomy movements, privatization and conversion of
military industries, local politics and power structure, economic relations
with East Asian countries, etc.
Secondly, we would also like to visit various types of production units
such as privatized factories, military industries waiting to be converted to
factories producing consumer products, old-style and new private farms,
joint venture enterprises, etc.
Thirdly, visiting ethnically distinctive areas such as those of Yakuts,
Buriyats, and others is also in our interests.
In short, the trip is intended as an experts' fact finding tour surveying
political/economic/social states of Russian Siberia and Far East (covering
east of Irkutsk probably).
I hope to hear from Russian citizens who live in those areas and want to
organize those things him(her)self for us. Introduction of other people
would also be appreciated. Of course, the guides will be properly paid for
their service.
Looking forward to responses...
