======================= HES POSTING =================== ***Forwarded from the list SCIENCE-AS-CULTURE*** Tim Sherratt <[log in to unmask]> writes: 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...
