The paper concludes receive all "posts" or messages from other with a sampling of ways to explore the Internet. members to the list, and they are able to send replies to these or messages of their own. As this description implies, SAS-L is a high What is SAS-L? volume list, averaging perhaps sixty messages each day. This may sound daunting, but most SAS-L is, first of all, a BITNET list. Of course email systems allow a user to delete messages that answer only generates two inore questions, not of interest rather quickly. Proper use of the what is BITNET and what is a 'list'? BIlNET subject line makes this fairly convenient. (Because It's Time Network) is a part of the collection of computer networks known as "the What is 'posted' to SAS-L?

Members ofSAS-L are ready with the proper syntax to a particular address and willing to solve that thorny problem, usually (an ID at a "node" of the Net) in order to join a complete with a useful snippet of example code. list of interest. More on the mechanics of this later, but let's go back to our original question Most members of this list like to try to answer a about SAS-L. question if they can. Why? It's their chance to show others how clever they are, to enlighten Besides the technical answer that SAS-L is a the masses, or balance the cosmic scale for that Bitnet list, there are a couple of more useful help they got last week. Why ask why? Just do definitions. It is a forum for exchange of it.

Fifty-four librarians completed the questionnaire, which sought information on the computer conferences to which they subscribed; the length of time they had been using either BITNET or the Internet; and the type of training they had had in using either of the two networks. In addition, the respondents were asked to rank five functions or capabilities available on either BITNET or Internet--electronic mail and computer forums, remote database searching, file transiur and data exchange, research and publication on the Internet--by extent of use.

Both types of sources are growing dramatically in number and scope. This guide provides information on resources directly available to the researcher through electronic communications media. It includes enough technical information to get the user started. The use of ylectronic mail (e-mail) provides access to research and greatly :facilitates the research process. Two communications networks frequently used by academic institutions and researchers are BITNET and the Internet. Suggestions for using these and e-mail are given. A list is provided of computer discussion groups (facilitated by software known as Listserv) that may be of interest to researchers on women. Other tools that may be useful include news groups,different file distribution methods, Telnet, electronic conferencing, electronic journals, full-text databases, and numerical data sources.

  • Two Electronic Serials on BITNET: the Public-Access Computer Systems Review and the Public-Access Computer Systems News
    Two Electronic Serials on BITNET: The Public-Access Computer Systems Review and the Public-Access Computer Systems News By Charles W. Bailey, Jr. Preprint: 8/12/90. (Published as: Electronic (Online) Publishing in Action . The Public-Access Computer Systems Review and Other Electronic Serials) Introduction For many years, librarians have been reading about the potentials of electronic serials. An increasing number of full-text journals are available on database vendor systems, but these files are typically derived from print products. However, outside the commercial sector, a few pioneers on BITNET, an international computer network, have been quietly exploring publishing electronic digests, journals, magazines, and newsletters that have no print counterparts. These electronic serials are distributed to subscribers via e-mail messages or file transfers. This activity takes place in the larger context of electronic communication on BITNET. The major types of communication on BITNET are personal e-mail and computer conferences. There are thousands of computer conferences on BITNET, representing an increasing vital and important channel of scholarly communication. Given the diverse ways that communication is structured in these conferences, it is not always easy to tell where informal conference activity ends and formal electronic publication begins. This article focuses on electronic serials that bear some resemblance to their more traditional print counterparts; however, it should be emphasized that our conception of "serials" may need to be reconsidered in the network context. 1 The University of Houston Libraries has established a computer conference, an electronic journal, and an electronic newsletter on BITNET to examine issues related to public-access computer systems in libraries.

  • Do Pre-Announcement Face-To-Face Interactions Increase the Returns to Acquisitions? Evidence from Smartphone Geolocational Data
    Do Pre-Announcement Face-to-Face Interactions Increase the Returns to Acquisitions? Evidence from Smartphone Geolocational Data Marco Testoni,a Mariko Sakakibara,b Keith Chenc May 30, 2019 Information asymmetries make acquisitions risky, reducing firms’ ability to gain from these transactions. We test whether face-to-face interactions with the target’s employees before the acquisition provide informational advantages to the acquirer. For a sample of U.S. domestic acquisitions, we use smartphone geolocational data to measure the movement of people between merging companies’ headquarters in the months before the acquisition announcement and use the number of visits between the two companies as a proxy for face-to-face interactions. Using bad weather conditions in the two companies’ locations as a source of exogenous variation in intercompany mobility, we find evidence that more intense face-to-face interactions increase the abnormal returns on the acquirer’s stock at the acquisition announcement. Keywords: Mergers and acquisitions; abnormal returns; information asymmetry; monitoring; face-to-face interaction We would like to thank Marvin Lieberman, Natarajan Balasubramanian, Tony Bernardo, Chirantan Chatterjee, Mark Garmaise, seminar participants at UCLA, and annual meetings at the Academy of Management and Strategic Management Society for helpful comments. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of UCLA Anderson School of Management and the Academic Senate of the University of California, Los Angeles.
