I would like to remind Zooarchers that you can view the whole list of zooarch
subscribers (except those few who have chosen to conceal their addresses) by
sending the message "review zooarch" (and nothing else in your email body) to
[log in to unmask] Currently we have 779 addresses subscribed to the
list, so there is a good chance that you'll be able to find whoever you are
looking for.
Concerning the problem of multiple requests of pdfs I'd like to remind you of a
suggestion I sent last October:
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 09:19:03 +0100
From: Umberto Albarella <[log in to unmask]>
To: [log in to unmask]
Subject: [ZOOARCH] pdf papers
Dear Zooarchers,
With papers being more and more commonly produced and distributed in a pdf
format it is likely that requests for them will multiply on Zooarch, a trend
that we have seen in recent months. This is useful, and represents a very good
role that Zooarch can play. However, inevitably some people - sometime many -
will follow that initial request with messages requesting that paper too. This
makes sense, but it may become slightly irritating to people who will get their
inboxes filled up with 'me too, please' messages. So, here is a suggestion:
following the initial request for a paper, could others who are also interested
in getting hold of a copy address their request exclusively to the original
requester rather than the whole list? And could this person - provided that
s/he could get hold of a copy - please make sure that s/he forwards the article
to the additional requesters? This seems a small price to pay for having
obtained the paper in the first instance. I hope this sounds reasonable to you,
and a convenient way to avoid inbox-filling and overlaps of efforts.
Alternative suggestions are of course welcome.
Cheers,
Umberto
