New Services from UniServe*Science
UniServe*Science database now searchable over the World Wide Web
The UniServe*Science database of resources for use in teaching science
at the tertiary level is now available for searching via the World Wide Web.
This allows you to specify the discipline, area of interest, the year level,
and the platform (Mac, Windows, DOS) and have returned a list of teaching
materials that fits these criteria. Clicking on the item of choice leads to
further information about that product -- a description, requirements, supplier
details, etc. and, for an increasing number of products, an evaluation
of the product.
Access is via the Web page at http://www.usyd.edu.au/su/SCH/publications.html
Mailing Lists of Academics in your field
For each of the disciplines UniServe*Science covers we have set up a
`majordomo' list for interested persons. These lists put teaching academics
who are interested in using New Technologies in contact with each other. Any
mail sent to the list's address will be sent to all members of the list, thus
enabling a discussion group. To join a list send email to
majordomo@uniserve.edu.au with the following command in the body of the email:
`Subscribe listname YourEmail@your.email.address', (no inverted commas). The
list names are: biochemistry-science
biology-science
psych-science
chemistry
physics
geography and
geology.
To subscribe to the biology list I would thus send the message `subscribe
biology-science dchamber@extro.ucc.su.oz.au' (no inverted commas) to
majordomo@uniserve.edu.au. Email to be distributed via these lists should be
addressed to Listname@uniserve.edu.au. A message sent to all on the psychology
list would thus be sent to psych-
science@uniserve.edu.au.
