Thank you Michael,  This was my point, though I was embarassed to admit
it!  I can let my students know about the Internet, email, and Listservs,
but I am inadequate in my own knowledge about what is available.  I
received a not that I had an account and since then I've been muddling
through the net, trying to find time to really explore.  It would be
great to get some instruction so that I don't have to explore dead ends.

USC!!?  What you say!  I had to read it twice after reading your endcap.
In this state, that could be a really big argument. My UCLA friends will
love this little tidbit.
