Received: from bionet-20.arpa by NSS.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK via Satnet with SMTP id aa03822; 28 May 88 8:15 BST Date: Fri 27 May 88 23:21:46-PDT From: David Kristofferson Subject: BIOSCI - A NEW INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN BOARD NETWORK! To: BIONET-NEWS@arpa.bionet-20, BIOTECH SEQNET@arpa.bionet-20 cc: IG-STAFF@arpa.bionet-20, Kristofferson@arpa.bionet-20 Message-ID: <12401839995.15.KRISTOFFERSON@BIONET-20.ARPA> The following announcement is being posted at the BIONET National Computer Resource for Molecular Biology in California, the University of Maryland BIOTECH bboard service, the University of Uppsala in Sweden, and on the SEQNET service in Cambridge, England. From these initial sites it will be distributed to other institutions around the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The International BIOSCI Electronic Bulletin Board Network __________________________________________________________ A new international molecular biology electronic bulletin board ("bboard") network is being established. The name of this new bboard network will be BIOSCI, and its goal is to allow researchers easy access to scientific bulletin boards at local or regional sites ("nodes") on an accessible network. These nodes will establish a routing system which will automatically forward local bboard messages to the corresponding bboard at all other nodes. Scientists will thus be able to communicate directly with their colleagues around the world without specializing in network esoterica. They will also be able to participate in only the special interest groups (see the initial list below) that they desire to see. Messages to the bboards are posted without editorial intervention. This policy will be maintained until traffic reaches a level at which editorial moderation needs to be established. As the first step in implementing this scheme, the bulletin boards maintained presently by the BIONET National Computer Resource for Molecular Biology in the U.S.A. will be expanded to include the participation of other sites. BIONET's first collaborator in this new venture is the Biomedical Center at the University of Uppsala in Sweden. In the near future BIOTECH at the University of Maryland and SEQNET in the U.K. will also join. From now until July BIOTECH will receive messages from each of the bboards listed below and will archive them under the respective categories in their list server which is accessible to both BITNET and Internet users. After that time BIOTECH will have software in place to both receive and forward separate bboards to other sites. SEQNET in England is also acquiring new hardware for bboard distribution, and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and the University of Joensuu in Finland have also expressed an interest in participating. Other sites are invited to participate if they possess the necessary hardware and software for multiple bboard distribution (please contact kristofferson@bionet-20.arpa or mats@bmc.BMC1.UU.SE). The current list of bboards follows but other topics will be added as demand requires. Users can post messages to any of the boards below by mailing to the appropriate address at either BIONET or the University of Uppsala (whichever is more convenient). Each bboard address consists of the bboard name from the list below followed by the host name of the University of Uppsala or BIONET computer. For example, the PLANT-MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY bboard can be accessed by mailing to either plant-molecular-biology@bmc1.BMC.UU.SE or plant-molecular-biology@bionet-20.arpa. EARN users can mail to the abbreviated address (<= 8 characters / bboard name) at the University of Uppsala.

The Americas ------------ biosci@bionet-20.arpa Europe ------ Internet address: biosci@bmc1.BMC.UU.SE (preferred) Bitnet address: biosci@semax51 Elsewhere --------- whichever address above is more accessible. Eventually the University of Uppsala will handle redistribution primarily in Scandinavia, but will temporarily handle distribution to other European sites as well until other regional redistribution sites are established. In the United States BIONET and BIOTECH will soon be sharing this responsibility and additional sites may be added. BIOSCI represents a new advance in communications in the biological sciences. We believe that the community will find this endeavor to be both rewarding and exciting!

In the U.S. and Canada most BITNET sites can route mail by addressing directly to @bionet-20.arpa addresses.
