The Association of University Engineers
The National Academic Mailing List Service, known as 'JISCMail', is a service designed specifically for the further and higher education and research communities and is one of a number of services provided by JISC Advance, making it the foremost strategic collaboration tool within the academic community.
JISCMail uses the world wide web and e-mail to enable groups of academics and support staff to talk to each other and to share information. Members of the AUE are entitled to subscribe to the AUE-NETWORK mailing list which is a forum for discussion exclusively for University Engineers.
To request inclusion on the AUE list, please send your contact details to Sally Seanor at info@aue.ac.uk. You will need to be a registered member of the AUE.
AUE JISCMail Code of Conduct
As a result of a recent incident, in which an AUE member posted inappropriate comments on the network, the Executive has approved a Code of Conduct for members using the service. It would be appreciated if members would read this and ensure that they use JISCMail in the approved manner.
Did you know.......?
It is possible to browse subjects which have previously been discussed by AUE members via Jiscmail. Just go to the AUE-NETWORK Homepage, where you will find a month by month list of topics, along with a search facility.
Another useful tip!
If you find that Jiscmails are clogging up your inbox, it is possible to automatically divert them to a separate folder within your inbox - all you have to do is apply a rule to send all AUE-network@jiscmail.ac.uk emails to go there. Doing this will prevent your already busy inbox being bogged down with interesting but not immediately important emails. It also allows you to see all of the interesting responses to the mailbase quickly and at a time convenient to yourself. If you're using Microsoft Outlook it is simple to do, just go to help and type in "Manage e-mail messages with rules" or "create a rule" and there is a how to guide to take you through the wizard. Tony Hammond, Chair of the South East region, has provided this step by step Guide.
Tony has also managed to create another rule on Microsoft Outlook that filters the AUE Jiscmail email messages so that he receives the first email from any topic, but then any replies are sent to another folder so they don’t clog up his inbox. Click here for details.
And another!
If you receive a Jiscmail message and wish to respond to the sender only, you can find his/her email address by hovering your cursor over the top of the message, where it says A forum for discussion for University Engineers on behalf of name. Alternatively, you can right click the name and this will also show the email address.
If you click on reply, it will send your message to everyone.
