I'm not sure whether this message will go through, since I'm not a subscriber to french-feminism, but I thought I'd try. Below is a message about WMST-L that I sent privately to Amy Vondrak in response to a query she sent to french-feminism. Joan Korenman, WMST-L listowner (korenman-AT-umbc.edu) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 18 Nov 1999 12:11:35 -0500 From: J. Korenman <korenman-AT-umbc.edu> To: amvondra-AT-mailbox.syr.edu Subject: WMST-L Hi. Several people have forwarded to me a message that you sent to the french-feminism list asking about WMST-L. WMST-L is most definitely an open list and not in the least local: it has more than 4000 subscribers in 47 countries. Here is a publicity blurb that describes the list and includes instructions for subscribing. More info, including a link to the web version of the WSMT-L File List, can be found at http://www.umbc.edu/wmst/wmst-l_index.html . Here's the blurb: WMST-L is an international electronic forum for people involved in Women's Studies as teachers, researchers, librarians, and/or program administrators. It offers a rapid and cost-free way for participants to ask questions and exchange information about the academic side of Women's Studies: current research, teaching strategies, useful texts and films, innovative courses, funding sources, building Women's Studies majors, minors, and graduate programs, relations between Women's Studies and other "minority studies" programs, and other academic issues. WMST-L also publishes announcements about relevant conferences, calls for papers, job opportunities, publications, and the like. It serves, too, as a file repository for syllabi, bibliographies, and other files related to Women's Studies. In addition, it carries weekly feminist film reviews. Because of heavy mail volume, WMST-L must adhere to its relatively narrow scope. It is NOT a list for discussing politics, male/female relations, or other gender-related societal issues, nor is it the place for undergraduates to seek help with term papers or projects. Established in May 1991, WMST-L currently has more than 4000 subscribers in forty-seven countries, ranging from the United States and Canada to Israel, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Singapore, and Australia. Anyone with computer access to the Internet can subscribe to WMST-L. There is no charge. To subscribe, send the following e-mail message to LISTSERV-AT-UMDD.UMD.EDU: Subscribe WMST-L Your Name. For example, Subscribe WMST-L Jane Doe You will receive a message back asking you to confirm your subscription request by simply using your mail system's REPLY feature and typing the word OK. That's all the body of the message should say: OK. Once you subscribe, you will receive via electronic mail all messages that are sent to WMST-L, and you may also send messages for distribution to subscribers (only subscribers may post messages). An edited daily digest version is also available for those who would prefer to receive fewer individual messages. Messages for distribution (announcements, questions, replies, etc.) should be sent to WMST-L-AT-UMDD.UMD.EDU . Please note: only messages that you want everyone to read should be sent to this address. All subscription-related commands (subscribe, signoff, etc.) should go to LISTSERV-AT-UMDD.UMD.EDU . If you have questions about WMST-L, contact Joan Korenman at the Center for Women and Information Technology, UMBC, Baltimore, MD 21250 USA. Email: KORENMAN-AT-UMBC2.UMBC.EDU .
