III. Mailing Lists

III.1 AquaThought DAT Efficacy Archive

This membership based list serves to collect reports of positive and negative
(abnormal) Dolphin Assisted Therapy results. The tabulated results are returned,
via email, to all subscribers on a regular basis. Results are also posted on this
Web site. Future web enhancements will allow members to post reports using an
automated form. To learn more about or join the Archive, send a message to:

DAT-Response-Request@aquathought.com, with "help" in the subject or body.


III.2 MARMAM

MARMAM is an edited e-mail discussion list devoted to topics in marine mammal
research and conservation. A wide spectrum of message types are found on MARMAM,
all related to marine mammal research and/or conservation.

All messages not meant for MARMAM subscribers should be sent to the listserver
(listserv@uvvm.uvic.ca). As the list-server is an automated service, it is
important that commands be sent without errors or extraneous text.

To subscribe, send a message to listserv@uvvm.uvic.ca which says: subscribe
marmam Yourfirstname Yourlastnamename

To unsubscribe, send the message: signoff marmam

If you want to temporarily discontinue your subscription without signing off the
list, send the message: set marmam nomail

to continue it, send the message: set marmam mail

To receive marmam messages daily as a single file, send the message: set marmam
digests to listserv@uvvm.uvic.ca. To change this setting to individual messages,
send the message: set marmam mail

III.3 Bioacoustics-L

Bioacoustics-L is for discussion of any subjects related to sound in the natural
world, including animal communication, sonar, acoustic behavior, signal
processing for bioacoustics, the impact of noise on animals, acoustic tracking,
and any other topics that may come up. Discussion of experimental methods and
equipment, queries for information, announcements of results, and raising of
public policy questions are all welcome.

To subscribe to Bioacoustics-L, send mail to listproc@cornell.edu with the
message contents of

SUBSCRIBE bioacoustics-l <your real name>

and you'll be automatically included in the list of subscribers. Be sure to use
your real name, rather than your email address, like this:

SUBSCRIBE bioacoustics-l Dave Mellinger

The mailing-list software automatically gets your email address from the header
of your message. The subject line is ignored. Note that the software tries to
interpret EVERY line of the message body as a command, so any "signature" text
appended by your mailer will confuse it.

When you first subscribe, you will receive a list password, which is typically a
string of digits. Use this password to change your email address, like this:

SET bioacoustics-l ADDRESS <password> <new email address>

To stop getting messages from the list, send a message like this:

UNSUBSCRIBE bioacoustics-l

To send mail to everyone on the list, address your message to
bioacoustics-L@cornell.edu.

NOTE! Please be careful when replying to a message received from the list. Your
mail program may automatically reply to bioacoustics-l@cornell.edu, making your
message go out to everyone on the list.

regulation technique; the use of physiological measures in clinical psychology
and psychiatry; issues of performance enhancement. Discussion is welcomed
regarding: clinical cases, research and treatment issues, professional practice
concerns, information on new devices and software, and announcements of
conferences and workshops.


III.5 Ethology
