WHAT IS NASSServ?

NASSServ is the unofficial listserv of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport. Membership in NASSServ is limited to members of NASSS and to members of the International Sport Sociology Association (ISSA). To subscribe, either your NASSS or your ISSA dues must be paid for the current year (2002). The list was created to facilitate on-line academic discussions and information exchange by professionals in thesefields. Uses have included discussions on issues of concern; distribution of requests for help in information gathering for research or personal interest; calls for papers; announcements of positions available, new publications, and grant opportunities; and notices about conferences. In other words, we encourage the posting of any item of interest to subscribers. List discussions are initiated and sustained by NASSServ members.

Leave the subject line blank. The body of the message should say only the following:

subscribe nassserv

You should not include your name or address. This message will be forwarded to me and I will have to "approve" it. (The reason for this is to insure that subscribers are indeed members of NASSS or ISSA). After I approve your request, you will soon receive an acknowledgment of your subscription.

RECEIVING AND SENDING MESSAGES

Once subscribed you will automatically receive a copy of all messages send to the list. NASSServ is unmoderated; that is, neither the list owner or manager censor or otherwise interfere with outgoing messages. Thus, once subscribed to NASSServ you may send any message, however, common sense suggests that messages should relate to the topics pertinent to the scholarly study of sport.

Once subscribed, you can send a message to all current subscribers by addressing your message to

nassserv@listserv.bc.edu

Each list subscriber will get a copy of your message and you will get an acknowledgement that the message has been distributed. Only valid subscribers may post messages to this list. Our etiquette requires that all postings be signed. Anonymous posters will be contacted by the list manager and reminded of this policy; repeat offenders maty be removed from the listserv.

LIST MANAGER/OWNER

Michael A. Malec, of the Department of Sociology at Boston College, manages the list, but does not edit, moderate, accept, or reject messages posted to the list. This list is what the members make it and to date there have been some excellent exchanges (along with a rare bit of irritating advertising). If you have questions or suggestions, contact me privately at

malec@bc.edu
