"Communicate for Success: How to use electronic mail and bulletin
boards effectively," By Sue Gier, Office of Information Technology,
James Madison University, "The Computer Connection," January 1991,
ACS_SUE@JMUVAX1
As electronic communication becomes more and more common, users
of electronic mail and bulletin boards need specific guidelines and
tips on etiquette. Sue Gier has effectively described the difference
between electronic forms of communication and oral and written
ones. She has also composed a list of guidelines that are useful for
the person just getting started with electronic communication They
also serve as an excellent reference for those experienced with this
relatively new technology.
Did you know that using capital letters is the electronic equivalent of
shouting, or that messages intended for one other person's eyes only,
could be forwarded, posted, or otherwise shared with many? If not,
this article can be a valuable resource.

"Computers and Health-Issues and Protective Measures," by
Kimberly H. Updegrove and Daniel A. Updegrove, Office of
Information Systems and Computing, University of Pennsylvania,
"Penn Printout," February 1991, UPDEGROVE@AL.RELAY.UPENN.EDU
If you are one of a growing number of computer users who has
developed chronic aches and pains, or you're concerned about the
hazards of prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation, this
article will provide information and advice. There are many things
you can do to protect yourself against chronic pain or disease. The
authors not only give an overview of the issues and possible
solutions, but also include a bibliography for further reading.
Studies are currently underway to determine the extent of the risks
that VDT users face in their daily work. Until the final results are in,
many computer-related injuries can be avoided by taking the time to
analyze the work environment.

"San Francisco Worker Safety Ordinance," submitted by Daniel
Updegrove, University of Pennsylvania, based upon the San Francisco
legislation, UPDEGROVE%A1.RELAY@UPENN.EDU
Concerns about the safety of VDT operators is resulting in legislation
aimed at protecting the worker from poor working conditions. New
laws are forcing the employer to upgrade office equipment to certain
standards and to accept liability when appropriate for work-related
injuries. The San Francisco Municipal Code has been amended to
reflect this growing concern. Very specific requirements are outlined
here and following them would benefit all VDT operators whether
legislation has been passed or not.
