TITLE:  INFOSYS - The Electronic Newsletter for Information Systems

ISSN #:

Description:  INFOSYS is an electronic newsletter for faculty, students,
and practitioners in the field of Information Systems.  INFOSYS publishes
news items, requests for assistance, announcements of professional meetings
and conferences, position notices, a calendar of upcoming events, comments
on recent publications, abstracts of papers that authors are willing to
share, and other items of interest to the Information Systems community.
INFOSYS is published biweekly, more frequently if volume requires it.
INFOSYS operates as an electronic mailing list on listserv software at
American University in Washington, DC.  The editor is Dennis W. Viehland
(d.viehland@massey.ac.nz).

To Subscribe: send the following one-line e-mail message to listserv@auvm
(Bitnet) or listserv@american.edu (Internet):  subscribe infosys
yourfirstname yourlastname  (e.g., subscribe infosys john smith).  You will
receive a welcome letter that will tell you more about INFOSYS and
listserv.

Submissions: Articles submitted to INFOSYS should be relevant and of
interest to the subscriber list (see separate paragraphs below).  The
following types of articles are especially appropriate:
--Conference announcements and calls for papers
--Calls for papers for journal special issues
--News and events of special interest to the IS community
--Position announcements
--Books and publication announcements
--Requests for assistance (but if you need immediate help remember
  INFOSYS is published biweekly; also you may be asked to report a
  summary of replies back to INFOSYS)

A few words about "relevant and of interest".... Based on experience to
date, most INFOSYS members are faculty or students at colleges and
universities around the world.  That means articles published in INFOSYS
are likely to have an academic orientation and be of international
interest.  More commercial organizations join the Internet every day and as
INFOSYS's audience changes INFOSYS will change too.

Similarly, the editor takes a broad view in defining Information Systems,
but that definition does have its limits.  Positions and conferences
strictly of interest to computer scientists, for example, will be referred
to other lists or newsgroups for distribution.

Submit your article to INFOSYS@american.edu.  The article will be directed
to the editor and published in the next issue of INFOSYS.  Your article
should follow these guidelines:
1. Send only ASCII text files.
2. Do not use any figure, diagram, or ASCII art.
3. Maximum length should be 250 words.  Articles exceeding this length will
   be edited.
4. Place all lines flush left (do not center headings or indent paragraphs).
5. Use upper and lower case, excessive use of upper case will be edited.
6. The preferred line length is 70 characters.
7. All submissions MUST be signed with the full name, affiliation
   (university, company, etc), and e-mail address of a contact person.
8. Please suggest a title.
All articles are subject to editing to eliminate nonessential information
and maintain a consistent format.
