THE BIOSCI ELECTRONIC NEWSGROUP NETWORK INFORMATION SHEET
(last revised 25-FEB-94)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the BIOSCI information sheet for the Americas and Pacific Rim
countries. If you are located in Europe, Africa, or Central Asia,
please request that version of the BIOSCI information sheet by sending
e-mail to the Internet address:
biosci-help at net.bio.net
The address above is the personal assistance address for this regional
BIOSCI node and mail to it is read by people, not computers.
New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked
Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how
to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from
net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ. It may also be
requested by sending e-mail to biosci-help at net.bio.net (use plain English
for your request). The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month
to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the
posting of the BIOSCI information sheet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
------------
The BIOSCI newsgroup network was developed to allow easy worldwide
communications between biological scientists who work on a variety of
computer networks. BIOSCI is supported by the National Science
Foundation, Department of Energy, and National Institutes of Health in
the U.S.A. and by the Science and Engineering Research Council
Daresbury Laboratory in the United Kingdom. BIOSCI services are
available to users free of charge.
BIOSCI messages are distributed by two means: USENET news software and
electronic mail.
WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL INTERESTED USERS TO EXPLORE GETTING "USENET
NEWS" SOFTWARE AT YOUR SITE. The software is in the public domain,
and you will find it much more convenient than subscribing to
newsgroups by e-mail. Please consult your systems manager (the
software may already be available on a machine at your institution) or
contact biosci-help at net.bio.net for a list of software available free
of charge on the Internet. NOTE, however, that the installation and
maintenance of news software requires the assistance of a trained
systems operator in most cases and is not a task to be undertaken by a
computer novice.
Why is news software preferable to e-mail? News software recovers
messages automatically after network interruptions, whereas your e-mail
address may have to be removed from the subscription list at times if
your computer/network malfunctions and undelivered mail starts
bouncing back to the BIOSCI administrative sites. You will have to
manually retrieve lost messages from the archives if your e-mail
subscription is suspended.
News software organizes messages by topic and subtopic for easy
browsing. In contrast if you subscribe by e-mail to more than one
discussion list, messages from multiple lists arrive into your
personal mail file in chronological order of posting only and are
mixed in with your personal messages. You have to connect the
discussion threads yourself if you use e-mail.
In summary, e-mail participation should be seen as a LAST RESORT to be
used only if news software can not be installed locally.
Fortunately, BIOSCI offers advantages for e-mail users too. By having
distribution sites or "nodes" on each major network, BIOSCI allows its
e-mail users to contact people around the world without having to
learn a variety of computer addressing tricks. Any user can simply
post a message to his/her regional BIOSCI node and copies of that
message will be distributed automatically to all other subscribers on
all of the participating networks, including the Internet, USENET,
BITNET, EARN, NETNORTH, HEANET, and JANET.
List of BIOSCI newsgroups
-------------------------
BIOSCI messages are distributed on the newsgroups in the "bionet"
hierarchy of USENET and on the corresponding mailing lists indicated
below. Contents of the USENET newsgroups and the e-mail distributions
are *identical*, i.e., messages sent in by e-mail are also forwarded
to USENET and messages posted to USENET newsgroups are also
distributed to e-mail subscribers.
An expanded description of the purpose of each newsgroup follows this
list.

BIOSCI Newsgroup Discussion Leaders
-----------------------------------
Most scientific specialty newsgroups (except for a few created several
years ago) have individuals who are responsible for stimulating
discussion on the newsgroup. General purpose forums such as
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS do not have discussion leaders. If a group that
you are interested in does not seem to have much activity recently,
please contact the discussion leader and ask why.

Participating in BIOSCI Using USENET News Software
--------------------------------------------------
Users who have access to USENET news software and the bionet USENET
groups can participate immediately, i.e., they do not need to
"subscribe" to anything. They can read and reply to messages using
their local news software (e.g., "nn" or "rn") and post new messages
of their own.
Users will have to consult their local systems managers for help in
using news software. There are many different programs available and
the BIOSCI staff can not provide training in news software use.
Fortunately, most news software is fairly simple to use and can be
learned quickly.
When posting new messages, USENET users should be sure to set the
message "distribution" to "world" or "bionet" or else your message may
not be distributed beyond your local computer. In most cases,
messages are posted directly to the newsgroups without editorial
intervention. Some groups (indicated in the lists above) are
"moderated," however. This means that postings to these newsgroups
will be sent to the newsgroup moderator who will decide whether or not
the message is suitable for posting to the newsgroup in question.
Participating in BIOSCI by E-mail
---------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO USENET NEWS YOU DO NOT NEED AN
E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTION!! Simply read and post to the newsgroups in the
"bionet" newsgroup hierarchy using your USENET news software.
E-mail Subscription Requests and other Information
--------------------------------------------------
For users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries, e-mail
subscription and cancellation requests are handled automatically by an
e-mail server, although personal assistance is also available via the
biosci-help at net.bio.net address. Once your e-mail address is added to a
subscription list, mail will be sent to your address automatically
each time someone posts a message. This will continue until you
remove your address from the subscription list.
You should first send the
lists
command to the address
biosci-server at net.bio.net
to obtain a listing of all current BIOSCI mailing lists. Leave your
message Subject: line *blank* in any message that is sent to the
server and include all commands only in the body of your mail message.
Please BE SURE to substitute the appropriate mailing list name
obtained FROM THE "lists" COMMAND OUTPUT for "listname" in the
subscribe or unsubscribe commands shown below. Some list names used
by the server are abbreviated compared to their full spelling in the
BIOSCI information sheet.
After obtaining the names of the mailing lists using the "lists"
command, use the
subscribe listname
or
unsubscribe listname
commands to add or delete your address from the mailing lists. Please
substitute "listname" above with the appropriate name of the list that
you want to join/cancel.
Your e-mail address is obtained AUTOMATICALLY from the header of your
mail message and should NOT be included on the subscribe/unsubscribe
command line unless you need to sign up at a different address than
the one you are currently using. Such requests must be handled
manually by us and create extra work. (Also you would be surprised at
how many people list their e-mail addresses *incorrectly*, so please
let our server obtain this information from your mail header instead
of providing it yourself!).
Multiple commands may be placed on separate lines in the same mail
message, i.e., you can include all of your subscribe and/or
unsubscribe requests in one mail message as long as each is on a
separate line. If you put multiple commands in your mail message,
please put an
end
command as the last in your list of commands. This helps avoid
sending to the server any signatures that might be automatically
included in your mail messages.
Other command details are included in the mail server help file from
biosci-server at net.bio.net. To get the server help file
(in computerese 8-), send in the
help
command to the server address.
E-mail Address Changes
----------------------
If you have subscribed to a newsgroup and are now leaving an
institution or changing your e-mail address, it is IMPERATIVE that you
cancel your subscription! Non-existent addresses or overflowing
mailboxes cause computer mail programs to send back "daemon" messages
which might bother everybody on the newsgroup. We will immediately
remove any address causing such a problem, but would prefer it if you
would notify us in advance as a courtesy to the rest of the user
community.
Interruption of E-mail Service
------------------------------
It is our policy to remove any address from our mailing lists which
becomes inaccessible and causes mail to bounce back to the sender.
This might happen to you if your local computer or network fails for a
significant period of time. If you notice that you are no longer
receiving BIOSCI postings, it may be because your address was removed
for the above reason. It will be necessary for you to contact
biosci-help at net.bio.net and resubscribe. Please see the BIOSCI FAQ,
mentioned at the beginning of this document, for more details on how
BIOSCI handles addresses which reject mail.
Posting Messages to Newsgroups by E-mail
----------------------------------------
Those who use e-mail to post messages should send their mail to the
following Internet addresses in the USA:
**********************************************************************
DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT POST SUBSCRIPTION OR CANCELLATION REQUESTS
DIRECTLY TO ANY OF THE NEWSGROUP E-MAIL POSTING ADDRESSES. PLEASE USE
ONLY THE ADDRESS
biosci-server at net.bio.net
for subscription or cancellation requests as explained above. Your
posting could go to several thousand people. Supposing that each
person spends a couple of seconds to figure out that you did this,
before they go on to the next message. You will have wasted the
equivalent of several hours of one person's time, not to mention
wasted computer time and disk storage.

Retrieval of old postings from the BIOSCI archives
--------------------------------------------------
Users with Internet access can use either the WAIS or gopher software
to search the BIOSCI archives located at net.bio.net as described in
the BIOSCI FAQ. E-mail users can retrieve messages from our waismail
e-mail server. For waismail instructions, send the word
help
in a message to waismail at net.bio.net. Please leave the Subject: line
of your message blank.
BIOSCI "prototype" newsgroups
-----------------------------
To assist areas of research in developing their own electronic
communication forums, BIOSCI at net.bio.net will set up, on request, a
mailing list *without* an associated USENET newsgroup. The mailing
list is created only at net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI node, and all
subscription requests must be sent to the e-mail server at
biosci-server at net.bio.net regardless of one's geographical location.
There is no charge for this or any other BIOSCI service, as usual.
This procedure waives the rule that requires each new newsgroup
proposal to be put to a vote of the readership first (see the BIOSCI
FAQ, mentioned at the beginning of this document, for details on
creating new full-fledged newsgroups and prototype newsgroups). Each
mailing list ("prototype newsgroup") must have a scientist volunteer
to serve as its discussion leader and an initial list of e-mail
subscribers. The prototype newsgroup has six months to build up its
readership after which time it is put out for a vote for full
newsgroup status (i.e., to have both a mailing list *and* parallel
USENET newsgroup created at both BIOSCI nodes in the U.S. and U.K.).
If you are interested in establishing such a forum for your research
specialty, please contact biosci-help at net.bio.net.
The current prototype newsgroups are listed below. Please send
subscription requests to biosci-server at net.bio.net and NOT to the
newsgroup posting addresses. Prototype newsgroups may *not* be fully
archived, so please be sure to save any messages that you may want to
refer to again.
