Abstract
Electronic discussion groups are playing an increasing role within the information culture. Electronic discussion groups (DG) often serve as powerful tools in the retrieval and exchanging of information, bringing together persons with similar interests regardless of geographic distance or the time constraints dictated by face‐to‐face meetings. The focus of this article is to characterize global, electronic DGs. Secondly, the article offers some helpful tips for those new to using LISTSERV lists and Usenet News.Keywords
