Listserv Electronic Networks |
LaRed Latina endorses and recommends the following discussion groups which specifically address Latino related issues, and concerns.
http://www.lared-latina.com/LARED-L.html
NOTICE: To subscribe Online to LARED-L, please go to http://www.cyberlatina.net/cyberlatina.html.
or if you want to subscribe via e-mail, go to:
http://www.lared-latina.com/LARED-L.html
In order to participate in Electronic Listserv Groups, you must already know how to use E-mail correctly and have an Internet account. E-mail accounts can be opened for Free if you are a registered student, staff, or faculty at any college or university. You can also obtain a Free (Web-Based) E-mail Account which you can use to subscribe to Latino Listserv lists by filling out a simple form at http://www.hotmail.com.
Otherwise you can open a commercial Internet account for about ten dollars, more or less, a month. I will recommend that you avoid the national ISPs (Internet Service Providers) such as AOL (America on Line), or Compuserve, because their service fees tend to be relatively high. By shopping around, you can a find local provider whose fees will be a frac tion of what the National ISP companies will charge, and for the same Internet services.
For those persons who are not familiar with Electronic Mail (E-mail), the Pine Information Center at the University of Washington provides extensive information about how to use E-mail.
I will use LARED-L as a model to illustrate the proper way to subscribe.
After you become a LARED-L subscriber, it will be easy to subscribe to
any other discussion group/Listserv list.
To subscribe to LARED-L please follow the directions stated
below.
Address your e-mail message to
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.CYBERLATINA.NET
Leave the "subject" line blank.
For the message, type subscribe LARED-L and your name.
Example:
subscribe LARED-L Cesar Chavez
You should receive a mail message indicating the status of your
subscription request which needs to be confirmed. Once your subscription
to the mailing list has been accepted, you will receive a Welcome
message. Save the Welcome message because it usually contains
important subscription commands and information about the group that you
may need later. You may at this point proceed to send electronic mail
(POSTS)to the LARED-L list address at;
LARED-L@LISTSERV.CYBERLATINA.NET
To unsubscribe from LARED-L please follow the directions stated below.
Address your e-mail message to
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.CYBERLATINA.NET
Leave the "subject" line blank.
For the message, type unsubscribe LARED-L
Example:

A few minutes after you send your message, you will receive confirmation of your unsubscription from Listserv.
Note: Try subscribing and unsubscribing from the LARED-L
several times,until you get the hang of it. You will find that most lists
use the same commands to either subscribe or unsubscribe ie.,
"subscribe," to subscribe to a list, and "unsubscribe" or
"signoff" to unsubscribe.

Listserv Discussion Group mail will be sent to your PINE Mail Box just like any regular e-mail message. You may save or delete Listserv messages as you would other e-mail correspondence.
When mailing to the discussion group, send the mail to the discussion listname address
(in our example, LARED-L@lmrinet.ucsb.edu.)
Do not send discussion mail to the account called Listserv.
The mailing list server software (at listserv@ubvm.bitnet) that manages discussion groups will automatically distribute your mail to all the mailing list subscribers.
If you wish to send mail to one particular person on the list, you should use his or her personal account name when sending mail.
Due to high volume of mail traffic generated by listserv lists, it is not recommended that you subscribe to more than three or four discussion groups at a time.
Congratulations! Bienvenido al maravilloso mundo de Listserv Electronic Networks.
