ZOOL-IL

The mailing list of the Israel Zoological Society

1) General - The ZOOL-IL list is intended to facilitate communication among members of the Israel Zoological Society and in general,

among zoologists in Israel. There are more than 350 subscribers to ZOOL-IL, and replies to queries get sent through the list, or directly

to the originator of the question. The list is also used to disseminate information and announcements among the members of the society,

including conference days etc.

2) Subscription - There are two option for susbcription: A. by E-MAIL To subscribe to this list, send a message to the list server:

listserv@bgu.listserv.ac.il with an empty subject line and with one line in the body of the message: subscribe ZOOL-IL

Your_First_name Your_Last_name (replace your name in the appropriate place). B. Through the web You can subscribe to the list

also through ZOOL-IL's archives page on the list server at: http://listserv.ac.il/archives/zool-il.html

New Procedures in the Subscription:

Subscription is not fully automatic anymore: the new subscriber sends the subscription request as usual to the server, but the request to

subscribe needs to get approved before it is accepted by the server. This may take a day or two until the list manager sees the current

requests and deals with them, but normally not more than that (unless he is traveling overseas). This procedure has been introduced

to increase the security of our system. If you get rejected or do not get the confirmation of subscription after several days, please send

an e-mail message directly to bouskila@bgu.ac.il

messages also through ZOOL-IL's archives page on the list server at: http://listserv.ac.il/archives/zool-il.html Depending on the settings of your

subscription, you will or will not get a copy of the message back to you (you can change the setting through this web page).

4) Archives - The list has been running since 1995. Subscribers to ZOOL-IL can view all submissions since 1998 through the web (after

logging-in by their email address and a password that they will have to choose) at: http://listserv.ac.il/archives/zool-il.html The archives have a

very powerful search engine that scans all the messages that were ever posted through the list. The results can be sorted by several convenient

ways (date, author, etc.)
