1st CD-ROM SHOPPER'S GUIDE
CD-ROM Related Mailing Lists
On the internet, the best source of information is the newsgroup
alt.cd-rom, which is linked to the BITNET list CDROM-L.
Those subscribing to CDROM-L may now choose to receive a daily digest
of CDROM-L postings or an index to the daily digest. From the index
one may easily request the full text of a posting.
To receive the INDEX, send the following note to listserv@uccvma or
listserv@uccvma.ucop.edu (the subject is ignored):
set cdrom-L index
To receive the DIGEST, send the following:
set cdrom-L digest
***DO NOT*** send to cdrom-L. Because of the high noise level of
this list, I recommend that people try the index.
The newsgroup aus.cdrom provides a forum for discussion of cdrom
related issues to Australian users that are otherwise lost in the
morass of postings in the US based groups.
The internet newsgroup comp.multimedia is a good source of information
on multimedia topics.
CDROMLAN (available on usenet as bit.listserv.cdromlan) covers the
use of CD-ROM products on local area or wide area networks. You can
join the list be sending the following command to
LISTSERV@IDBSU.IDBSU.EDU:
SUBSCRIBE CDROMLAN Your full name
CD-ROMs are in heavy use in libraries and government document
repositories, both for access to indexes and for distribution of
government data. The relevant lists are PACS-L
(bit.listserv.pacs-l) and GOVDOC-L (bit.listserv.govdoc-l).
