E-Mail Lists In Neurology  In an e-mail list, a member sends his
message to a central computer, and then that computer
distributes the message to everyone on the e-mail list. Often,
daily messages can be consolidated into a digest f ormat, so
that the total amount of all mail received is limited to one
piece of mail per day. An e-mail list is an example of "push"
technology, where many of the participants can take a more
passive role in acquiring information, and the information is
pushed towards them. For Child Neurology, e-mail has become a
way to interact with busy, or geographically dispersed, child
neurologists in a facile manner. Currently, its most organized
form is the Child-Neuro e-mail list. The Child-Neuro e-mail list
has ov er 900 subscribers in 53 countries. This has been
supported in part by the Child Neurology Society and has shown
steady growth through the last several years. Subscriptions to
the list can be obtained by sending an email to
Mack@waisman.wisc.edu or Leber@umich.edu.
