Questions about the New System

--What happens with subscribers outside UCAR who now get Staff Notes 
in print?  
	Earlier this month we asked external subscribers which of the new 
products they would like to receive.  We will continue to mail Job 
Openings and Staff Notes Monthly in print to any interested people 
outside UCAR.

	--I already get the e-mail version of Staff Notes.  What happens to 
that 
mailing list in October?
	This Week at UCAR will be sent automatically to all people with 
"ncar.ucar.edu" computer addresses beginning on 13 October.  
Instructions on how to unsubscribe will be included.  The addressing is 
such that people who have chosen to block "all local users" mail from their 
system can still receive This Week at UCAR.  Each file will be clearly 
identified (announcements, jobs, calendar, and the like) for ease of use.  
New staff will be added to the distribution list as they arrive.  People 
outside UCAR who are on the present electronic list are being transferred 
to a new e-mail service, UCARline (see page 3). 

--How will This Week at UCAR be different in content from Staff Notes?
	This Week at UCAR will include virtually everything that now 
appears in Staff Notes except for lengthy features and photos, which will 
appear in 
Staff Notes Monthly.

--Will the deadlines for submitting material change under the new system?
	Deadlines for submitting announcements, visitors, and Calendar 
items for This Week at UCAR will stay the same in the new system.  Story 
ideas for Staff Notes Monthly should be submitted by the middle of the 
month preceding each issue.

--Why do we need a weekly e-mail service when anybody can send their 
own message to "all local users"?
	While the "all local users" service is ideal for short-fuse items of 
interest to all or most staff, it is not the best medium for less timely or 
more specialized notices.  In addition, each message must be opened and 
read individually.  This Week at UCAR's announcements will be sent as a 
single file each week.  The information also will be placed on Gopher and 
WWW/Mosaic for wider availability.

--I don't have e-mail access.  How do I know I'll get hard copies of This 
Week at UCAR?
	We are now in the process of locating and contacting all staff 
without 
e-mail.  If we haven't yet contacted you, please pass along your name and 
site to Milli Butterworth, UN suite 330, ext. 8600, butterwo@ncar.ucar.edu.
