ACM Lists

These lists are hosted by the Association of Computing (ACM) in the US and managed on a voluntary basis by William Hudson unless otherwise noted (CHI-WEB has a whole team of moderators as well). Unfortunately, the ACM does not use the Listserv web interface so all subscription changes must be managed by email. (Send the single word "help" - without the quotes - as the body of a message to listserv@acm.org to get basic instructions on how to do this.)

To post to these lists, send plain text email with no attachments to the list name at acm.org (e.g. chi-web@acm.org).

Description
chi-jobs CHI-related job postings (not moderated by William Hudson).
chi-announcements Primarily academic. Announcements of not-for-profit courses, events and conferences.
chi-resources Academic and commercial resources for the CHI community. News of courses, books, services, facilities and similar are all welcome.
chi-web Large discussion list focused on HCI and the Web. See the CHI-WEB faq for instructions on subscribing.
