TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Finding a Mailing List

Mailing lists are great ways to learn more about subjects that interest you as well as meet great new e-mail pen pals.

Here are three excellent Web sites that maintain extensive indexes to mailing lists:

* http://www.topica.com/ topica

* http://paml.taronga.com/ PAML - The Directory of Publicly Accessible Mailing Lists

* http://catalog.com/vivian/interest-group-search.html catalog

* http://www.oakland.edu/rcj/jrn/class/jrn411/fArchives.htm well vivian is gone but a link is here

In many cases, the best way to find out about mailing lists is to ask colleagues and friends who share your interests. Many lists are informally maintained and are not indexed anywhere.
