LISTSERV AT WORK:
IMPROVING HEALTH CARE IN RURAL OREGON
December 25, 1995
(Washington, DC)... The Oregon student group ACCESS (A Collaborative
Community Education and Support System) has been chosen by L-Soft
international, Inc. to receive computer hardware and software valued at
more than $11,000 as part of L-Soft's "Awards for Student Internet
Innovation" program. The donation will make it possible for ACCESS to use
LISTSERV electronic mailing lists and other Internet technology to
improve health care in rural Oregon. LISTSERV(TM), created by Eric Thomas
in 1986, is one of L-Soft's products.
Student volunteers from ACCESS's Rural Health Connections group will
create and manage the lists, which will be used to facilitate
communication between rural health care providers and information sources
such as medical schools, libraries and medical experts. Without such
online resources, these people have to drive for hours in order to do
research or meet colleagues. By subscribing to ACCESS's LISTSERV lists,
they can share the latest research results or consult with each other on
difficult cases. "LISTSERV discussion lists will be a cure for the
isolation that rural health care providers must endure. We hope that this
effort will become a model for healthcare providers worldwide", says
project organizer Deana Molinari.
LISTSERV delivers 10-12 million messages on an average weekday to
subscribers of over 26,000 LISTSERV lists worldwide. To find a LISTSERV
list of interest, visit L-Soft's home page at http://www.lsoft.com, where
you can do a keyword search for lists using the LISTSERV list reference.

AIESEC RECEIVES L-SOFT AWARD FOR INTERNET INNOVATION
December 25, 1995
(Washington, DC)... L-Soft international, Inc. continues its Student
Awards for Internet Innovation program with a donation to AIESEC valued
at over $8,000.00. AIESEC's mission is to promote peace and further
worldwide understanding through international student internships. These
internships make it possible for students to work overseas in their
chosen field, simultaneously gaining meaningful work experience as well
as exposure to a new culture. The award includes an unlimited capacity
license for L-Soft's LISTSERV(TM) product, the Internet's premier mailing
list management software.
"AIESEC will use LISTSERV to improve communication among over 800
chapters in 85 countries. We depend upon electronic mail to foster an
ongoing dialog between our members. LISTSERV will allow us to streamline
this process," says Adrian Bye, National Information Systems Team Leader
for the US division of AIESEC. "By participating in project-based lists,
exchange program students can compare notes and discuss their experiences
with their peers in other countries."
A dedicated list will be created for participants in the Women's
Entrepreneurship Program, a project which brings young women from
developing countries to work in corporations run or owned by women. The
program gives them someone to look to for inspiration while nurturing
their entrepreneurial skills. The list will be a forum where these women
can exchange entrepreneurial insight and field their own developing
business ideas.
"This is exactly the kind of Internet innovation we're looking for," says
L-Soft's Susan Lowell. "These students are using the Internet to run a
large part of their organization. I think it's an exciting example for
other multi-national organizations that are beginning to take advantage
of the Internet. This is a very cost-effective way to improve
communication among people in different geographical locations".
AIESEC will start out with about 100 lists, and expects to run as many as
900. "Eventually, we'd like every local chapter in the US to have its own
LISTSERV server", says Bye. "It would allow us to have mailing lists in
very specific areas, such as for technology students considering
internships in Brazil."
LISTSERV delivers 10-12 million messages on an average weekday to
subscribers of over 26,000 LISTSERV lists worldwide. To find a LISTSERV
list of interest, visit L-Soft's home page at http://www.lsoft.com, where
you can do a keyword search for lists using the LISTSERV list reference.
