Dear All, 
 
[To remind HES readers, Tim Sherratt manages a web site called the WWW  
Virtual Library in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine  
(the WWWVL referred to below). The URL is  
http://www.asap.unimelb.edu.au/hstm/hstm_ove.htm -- RBE] 
 
I have created an additional service for those of you who like to keep 
track of the new sites added to the database. It's called HSTM-Hotline and 
is an automated email distribution list. Every Sunday, HSTM-Hotline will 
send subscribers a list of sites added to the WWWVL-HSTM in the past week. 
It's NOT a discussion list, so any replies or postings will bounce. Here's 
an example of the format: 
 
----------------------------------------- 
Added on 3 January 1998: 
 
ARCHIVES FOR FAMILY PRACTICE  (399) 
  American Academy of Family Physicians 
  Direct URL: http://www.aafp.org/family/aafpf/archives.html 
 
BAKKEN LIBRARY AND MUSEUM  (400) 
  Direct URL: http://www.bakkenmuseum.org/ 
 
ETH LIBRARY: HISTORY OF SCIENCE COLLECTIONS  (403) 
  Archives of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) 
  Direct URL: http://www.ethbib.ethz.ch/whs/wisshis.html 
----------------------------------------- 
 
>From time to time I may also post other information concerning changes to 
the WWWVL-HSTM. News of major updates, changes, or new facilities will be 
posted to existing discussion lists as at present. As well as keeping you 
up to date, HSTM-Hotline will provide me with an additional motivational 
tool. Just imagine the embarrassment if I fail to reach my self-imposed 
target of 20 sites per week!! ;-) 
 
TO SUBSCRIBE to HSTM-Hotline, just send the message "subscribe 
HSTM-Hotline" to [log in to unmask] 
 
Of course, there is also a list of all sites added recently to the 
WWWVL-HSTM at: 
 
        http://www.asap.unimelb.edu.au/hstm/hstm_added.htm 
 
As with most things relating to the WWWVL-HSTM, this part of an ongoing 
experiment to see what works and is useful for the HSTM community. If 
nobody subscribes then I will have strong evidence that it was a dumb idea 
to begin with... 
 
Cheers, Tim
