Below are the listservs that our editor uses in "surfing." To subscribe to a listserv, send a message to the listserv (or listproc). Do not put anything in the subject field. In the message field, type "subscribe" (without the quotes), the name of the list, then your name. Do not type a period after your name. For example, to subscribe to the Academy for Global Communication and Education list, type the following message to listproc@hawaii.edu: subscribe ACE-L (yourfirstname) (yourlastname).

Please nominate other listservs that you find relevant to a discussion of signals of change in the macroenvironment that have implications for education. Search for more sites by area.
