An Electronic Discussion Group
for Vocational Education
________________________________________________________________________
VOCNET is an electronic discussion group for everyone interested in
vocational education. It is managed by the Dissemination Program of the
National Center for Research in Vocational Education and is available to
anyone with the ability to send electronic mail on BITNET or Internet.
Users can pose questions, report on research, and share thoughts with
others throughout the worldwide Internet.

HOW IT WORKS
VOCNET is an electronic mail distribution list run by LISTSERV software
on a mainframe computer at the University of California at Berkeley. An
e-mail message sent to the list is distributed to all the list's
subscribers, who receive the message as regular Internet e-mail.
Individual replies to the message are also distributed to all the
subscribers.

HOW TO SUBSCRIBE
Send a message of the form

subscribe vocnet firstname lastname

to LISTSERV@UCBCMSA (for BITNET users) or to LISTSERV@cmsa.berkeley.edu
(for Internet users).

For example, Jane Doe, wishing to subscribe to VOCNET from an Internet
e-mail address, would send the following message to
LISTSERV@cmsa.berkeley.edu:

subscribe vocnet Jane Doe

Even subscribers who plan to just "lurk" for now should send a start-up
item to the list, providing a few lines about themselves, their
interests, and what topics they would like to discuss.

HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE
To send a message from a BITNET e-mail address, send mail to
VOCNET@UCBCMSA; to send a message from Internet, send mail to
VOCNET@cmsa.berkeley.edu.

For example, a user wishing to send a message to VOCNET from BITNET
would address the message to:

VOCNET@UCBCMSA

A user sending a message from Internet would address the message to:

VOCNET@cmsa.berkeley.edu

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR OPTIONS
The LISTSERV program allows users to obtain information about the list
and to control some aspects of how the messages are delivered. For a
reference card of LISTSERV commands, send the following message to
LISTSERV (@UCBCMSA or @cmsa.berkeley.edu):

info refcard

LISTSERV will send the guide by e-mail.
