HINTS TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSE
While it is a pleasure to assist any dedicated students and seekers after
knowledge, professionals on the web always tend to respond more rapidly and
helpfully if students:
1. Identify themselves and the Institutions where they are studying
2. State the research topic and the degree for which it is being submitted
3. Summarises sources of information already consulted and their value or
limitations regarding the research topic
4. Thanks anyone or the entire group for any help given
5. Posts a summary of information and/or a list of references obtained from
list
members
6. Writes in a professional and respectful tone
7. Submits letters subdivided into paragraphs, using sentences of limited
length,
using capitalised headings for subsections if the material is lengthy and
never
writing a whole letter in capitals.
There are many other aspects to the relatively new field of electronic
communication, which has led to the creation of the discipline of
'netiquette'. The following websites are very helpful in this regard:
